Engage: Marriage & Parenting
Wednesdays 6:30-8:00pm
Beginning September 4th
How do you build a strong marriage and family? We believe it's through God's design. Marriage and parenting can be sensational if we put into practice the tools and models God's Word provides. Engage will equip you and your spouse with those tools in a fun, relational way including real-life Bible-based topics, peer discussion, and encouragement from host couple leaders. Engage is designed for both strong marriages to get stronger, and challenging marriages to get healthy. Along the way we'll also tackle parenting challenges through the biblical model of discipling our kids in grace and truth.
Each night begins with a brief teaching time from the Bible, focused on an aspect of relationship. Then we break out into groups facilitated by a team of discussion leaders to learn from and encourage one another. Our breakout discussion groups are designed to match you with others in your same stage of life: married, engaged and dating, grandparents, small kids at home, teens at home, or wherever you are in life!

This SEASON at Engage:
Everyday Practices of Love
The world has sold us a picture of love that, when lived out, will never last. The Bible gives us the truth of what lasting love really looks like, and all the ways we can live it out each day. We'll explore practical ways God calls us to show our spouse patience and kindness, and how we can serve them in a sacrificial way with humility and selflessness. We'll also learn where relationship challenges like jealousy, pride and selfishness come from and how we can protect our marriages from those traps.
Conflict Resolution
What happens when things go off the rails and conflict enters your marriage? Is there a right and a wrong way to resolve it? How does a couple 'fight fair'? Why do even the simplest disagreements blow up into huge arguments? Because we're all sinners, conflict is inevitable, especially in marriage. Get equipped with the tools to turn conflict that separates into conversation that unites.
Baggage
Marriage is never free from outside influences. We all bring in baggage - sometimes it's self-image issues or trauma we've experienced in our past. Sometimes it's extended family that puts a wedge between us and our spouse. Over time, this 'baggage' can weigh down even the strongest of marriages. How do we keep our marriage first and address outside factors as a united front?
