Marriage
Marriage, God-designed and the central part of the family structure. From the very beginning of time God set up the marriage relationship as one man, one woman. Culture, society, and man-made law may change but God’s original plan has remained the same. It is no secret that marriage and nuclear family is under attack like never before. These three resources help couples build and maintain marriage relationships that will last a lifetime. Strong marriages create strong families and strong families create strong, vibrant, healthy and growing churches.

Fathering 101 – Be the Dad…God wants you to be: “Fatherlessness”, a term we recognize but seldom understand the tremendous impact it has on our society and the Church. The breakdown of the family is at the core of many of our nation's ills. And it must be noted, that just because a father is in the home, does not mean he is an “abiding Dad”. Any male can become a father, but it takes a real man to be a “Dad”. Bill Dotson authored the book From F.A.I.T.H. to F.A.I.T.H. It stands for, Fathers Absent in the Home to Fathers Abiding in the Home. A father may be present in the home but that does not mean he is “abiding”. Too often fathers take a back seat in bringing their children up in the ways of God. It is left to the Mom, the church, or a grandparent. This is not God’s way. Fathering 101 brings men back to the basics of what it means to be a man of God and to firmly grasp the role to “Be the Dad…God wants you to be”. 10 sessions, instructor training, class length determined by group leader.
