About

"Sacred Living: Marriage & Parenting for Discipleship" is a two-night event featuring international speaker and bestselling author, Gary Thomas.

Discipleship begins in the home and one of the best ways to create disciples is by training marriages and families to build disciple-making homes.

Join us for these two days of spiritual equipping where you'll learn how God can use marriage and parenting to help you grow in Christ, and help your family grow in Him too.
