September 24 – The Journey Through Grief, Change and Loss
We have all experienced the challenges that come through grief, change (even good change) and loss. Our panel of workshop leaders will discuss their own stories and what they’ve learned as they’ve navigated through life’s most difficult hurdles: divorce, pregnancy loss, job loss, loss of reputation, suicide of a loved one, health issues, and more. You aren’t alone and we want to resource you with comfort and with practical ways to journey through grief, change and loss in the healthiest way possible.
We had such a special time together for this bittersweet workshop. If you missed it live, you can watch a good bit of it HERE

April 23 – Live to Be Missed!
To love others well will bear fruit in their lives as God uses YOUR LIFE to “influence them forever!” You may never know (in this life) how God has used your life to impact another’s life. GO FOR IT! Leave the results to Him (as well as the glory). Our CHARACTER has a profound impact upon our INFLUENCE. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS IMPACT!
As a leader, you will make one of these two choices throughout your life: To either impress people for the moment or be an influencer for Christ that will last for eternity! The choice is yours!
FALL 2018 CLASSES for MEN & WOMEN
Breaking Free Class
Would you like to understand how your past has impacted your present life and learn how to move forward and thrive? Do you want to break free from negative coping patterns that have been creating problems in your daily life? how about improving understanding of yourself, others in the dynamics that occur in relationships? If you said “yes” to any of these questions, then this class is for you!
In this class you’ll learn that codependency is a disease of immaturity, rendering a person unable to experience appropriate levels of self-esteem, unable to set boundaries with other people, unable to own their own reality, unable to take care of their own needs and wants appropriately, and unable to express their own reality moderately and it be appropriate age levels.
The quality of your recovery is proportional to the quality of your surrender.

GROUPS:
FALL 2018 GROUP FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
The Journey group is a 10-week study to help girls discover who they
are, who God is, and why that matters.
It is hard to be a teen girl these days with so many different temptations pulling at them, and our culture screaming that they should look and act a certain way. This group is designed to give girls an outlet in which they can be safe to share the hardships of being in middle/high school with a community of girls their age. Through taking a look at our “wiring” (our personality)
and our “wounding”(the hardships of life we have experienced), we can gain a deeper appreciation for who we are and a deeper awareness of God’s love for us. I believe that if girls can know themselves and know God, they will be set up to make better decisions in this crucial season of their lives that will lead to the abundant life that God has promised us (John 10:10). I would be honored to be part of your daughter’s journey!
