ABOUT:

The goal of this conference is to equip believers (both married and single) to know the importance of marriage, their roles in marriage, and how to better communicate and resolve conflict as couples. The sessions explore key Bible passages that develop a full picture of God’s design for marriage so believers can fulfill their calling to be faithful. We pray this time will help married believers grasp the importance and meaning of the Scripture teachings on head and helper, submit and love, as well as what it means to forgive. This conference’s primary goal is to prepare couples for marriage and strengthen marriages, but all are welcome who would like to understand more fully what Scripture teaches regarding the covenant.

*A NOTE TO SINGLES: We encourage single members to attend in order to have a biblical understanding of what is expected of them in marriage, what they should be looking for in a spouse, and how to wisely pursue a spouse.

SPEAKERS: Keith Goad and Pat Tedesco

COST: $50 for couples. $25 for singles. (Scholarships are available. We do not want finances to keep anyone from attending. )
