Cost: $25 per person, $45 per couple
What is your marriage all about? How do you navigate God’s story as a couple? How do you continue to grow together in Christ, whether you have been married for a short time or for decades? And how do you navigate through conflict as well as the ups and downs of life? Join us as we learn from gifted pastor, counselor, author and speaker Jonathan Holmes, learning more about what it means to grow and maintain a gospel-centered marriage.
Gospel-centered Change Course with Executive Director Wes Tubel
Tuesdays from Feb 11 to Mar 31, 2020 6:45p-8:45p
Cost: $75 (plus course materials)
This February, we will begin an 8-week course that will orient us to life as God sees it, change as God does it, and comfort as God provides it. What does biblical, heart-focused change look like? How do we avoid quick fixes or pat answers, that do not bring about lasting fruit? How do I better understand the tailored mercies Christ promises to bring to my specific moments of need? This course will help us better understand life as saints, sufferers, and sinners, and how the gospel brings about fresh applications in daily living.

Protecting the Vulnerable: Preventing and Responding to Abuse with guest speaker Julie Lowe
Sept 20, 2019, 2:00p.m.–5:00p.m.
Cost: $25
Situations of abuse generate a wide range of emotions—from outrage and a demand for justice, to fear, shame, and disbelief. It can be challenging to respond well. But when abuse is brought to our attention, we must work hard not to respond based on emotion or personal bias. We should act wisely, justly and deliberately. Doing so is not only a legal mandate, but also is a moral and biblical one as well. This seminar will explore ways the church can both prevent abuse and respond wisely when abuse takes place.
Childproof: Parenting by Faith, Not Formula with guest speaker Julie Lowe
Sept 21, 2019, 9:00a.m.–12:30p.m.
Cost: $25
Parents and caregivers need wisdom and encouragement, no matter the ages and stages of those in their care. As an experienced counselor of children and families and an adoptive and foster mom applying the CCEF model of biblical change, Julie Lowe will use Scripture and biblical wisdom to teach attendees how to know their children and specifically love them with the love of Christ. Every child and every family is unique. Julie Lowe will share from her personal and professional experience, and together discover how gospel-centered application, rather than formulas for the ideal family, equips us to be experts at knowing our own children so we can know Scripture and live it out personally in our homes.
