SUBMIT A QUESTION FOR DR. STREET
April 12-13, 2024
In 2023 we launched the first "Care Conference". Our heart was to help equip our church to see themselves as a frontline of spiritual care in one another's lives. We continue to pray for God's work to that end.
This year, our focus is caring for our marriages. "Marriage for the Long Run" will feature Dr. John Street, our conference speaker. He has a passion to see marriages thrive, and to help support and equip churches to encouarge healthy marriages.
This conference is for those not married (but who think they might be one day!), those newly married, or married for a long time - and anyone else who loves families, the church, and the gospel - of which marriage is a glorious picture. Marriage is a training ground for glory - what God teaches us in our momentary marriages, is preparing us for eternal fellowship with the Triune God. Full of sweetness, joy, and fellowship; marriage is also two sinners coming together to imperfectly serve and care for one another. We want to learn how to do that better, for the glory of God, our testimony in our world, and everlasting joy in Christ. We hope you'll join us!
