new this summer:
an annual seminar about OUR culturE'S hot topics
You're invited to join us for our brand-new annual event, the Summer Seminar. This evening is designed to address current cultural challenges and provide our community with practical tools and biblical insight.
This year’s focus is on parenting teenagers, specifically those in 5th through 12th grade. We are excited to welcome Dr. David Olshine as our keynote speaker. He will present a timely and practical talk titled “Riding the Adolescent Wave” which will help parents navigate key areas such as relationships, social media, discipline, and consequences.
Dr. Olshine will also be speaking at both of our Sunday morning services, and then we’ll kick off the seminar in full Sunday evening. Scroll down for the full Sunday schedule so you don't miss a beat!
We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful evening of encouragement, learning, and connection as we grow together in leading and loving our teens.
