Growth is seldom ever random. It only happens when the plan for determining the size and shape of the individual is well followed. If you desire to personally grow, and your passion for Christ involves being led on an adventure designed by our Creator, then make plans to join us November 11-12 for a dynamic Parent/Teen Conference. We will be planting and watering the seeds to help parents and teenagers produce a developing faith, a nurturing relationship with God, and a fruitful growing life.
The goal of Growing Together is to equip parents and teenagers with the biblical tools that are essential for strengthening their relationships with family, teens, friends, and God. “Cultivating” sessions on various topics will provide direction and support for moms, dads, teenagers and Christian service workers.
