About the Seminar
Join us for a day of discovery as we explore research-based and biblical ways to raise, mentor, and care for children in today’s world. Together, we will consider how a child’s development – from newborn to adulthood – is shaped by relationships, emotional connection, and everyday interactions. We will also learn to understand difficult behaviors, both in the children we care for and in our own responses as adults.
What We’ll Explore
This seminar will challenge some outdated ways of thinking and teaching while offering practical tools for creating and nurturing healthy family and faith dynamics. Topics will include:
- Understanding how relationships shape a child’s emotional and spiritual development
- Responding to rising mental and emotional challenges among children and teens
- Discovering practical ways to manage difficult behavior in children while also recognizing and guiding our own adult responses
- Strengthening parenting, mentoring, and caregiving confidence
- Building healthier family, co-parenting, and faith-centered connections
Who Should Attend
Whether you are a first-time parent, parent-to-be, a seasoned parent/mentor, a caregiver, ministry worker, co-parent, grandparent or anyone who cares for and influences children, this seminar offers encouragement, support, and practical tools. Wherever you are in your journey, you will find a welcoming place to grow in confidence and learn new ways to help kids stay connected!

KEEPING COUPLES CONNECTED
Presented with influences from credible researchers and filtered through God’s Word for marriage, this workshop offers something for a man and woman in any phase of marriage, whether dating, engaged or married 50 years! If a couple’s relationship is strong, this workshop will provide them with tools and insights to make their relationship even better. If a couple has a distressed relationship, is in crisis, or is already separated, this workshop can provide a road map for repair! By the end of the weekend, couples will have very specific, practical, REAL-LIFE tools and strategies to live out marriage successfully. The bonus is that many of the things learned in the workshop can be used to improve other important relationships, such as relationships with children, other family members, co-workers, or ministry teams.
