God has a great plan for families, but it takes intentionality, discipline, and frankly a lot of hard work. If you’re ready to experience God’s best for you and your family, these resources can help you get there.
Our recommendation is to choose one place to start. Most of us could probably work on almost all of these at once but that would be overwhelming. Pray about the best place to start and go for it. If you have questions or need support along the way, please feel free to contact one of the pastors on staff. We’re here for you.
