Parenting Class Starting Jan. 12th at 5:30 p.m.

Do you worry that you're messing up your kids? Do you get stressed when you think about their futures? New York Times bestselling author Crystal Paine knows how you feel. A mom of four, Crystal has struggled with anxiety over parenting. She wanted to parent with grace, instead of a system of rules where kids are expected to do all the right things. She wanted to be a safe place for her children, and she definitely didn't want to be remembered as the sort of mom who yelled, wounded her kids with words, or worse, cared more about her reputation than her kids' hearts.


In this book, Crystal shares the life-changing lessons that God has been teaching her about raising kids with love and grace.

In Love-Centered Parenting, Crystal will

- reveal the no-fail secret to launching your kids

- uncover the root of why we often feel so frustrated and irritated with our kids

- share the four most important choices we can make as parents

- give you the tools to keep going when you want to give up

- help you get your kids to talk to you


It is possible to parent from a place of freedom and rest, giving your kids what they truly need to thrive in this world.


Book cost $15.00




Pastor Shana's Class Following Worship

Starting Jan. 9th

Pastor Shana will lead a book study over the sermon series book Soul Reset by Junis Dotson after worship books for $11.00 will be available to purchase in the office starting Dec. 26th or can be found on Hoopla.


About the Book: Soul Reset calls the church and all of Jesus' disciples to reset and reorder their lives around spiritual practices, to learn to walk through difficult seasons with our souls connected to the source of Living Water so that we don't burn out or break down. And if we do burn out or break down, we learn to lift up and point one another back to Jesus.

Monday Night Adult Zoom Class

Starting Back up Jan. 10th at 6:30 p.m.

Ashley will also be leading a group on the book Soul Reset as well.
