* PARENTS + TEENS (7th-12th) / YOUNG ADULTS:
DTR (Defining The Relationship) Worksheet
We want to date and are filled with powerful emotions, but do we have a plan? Without clear goals, support, and boundaries, teen dating can become more destructive than helpful.

Discipleship Matters:
”Making Space for Everyone at the Table”
▶️ DEEPER DIVE PODCAST
We believe God desires to break the belief of a “Junior Holy Spirit” and the separation between children and adults in the family of God. He emphasizes that everyone, regardless of age or background, is valued and has a place at the table as a beloved son or daughter, brother or sister.
Dean and Pastor Brett explore the divide between generations and the crucial need for this gap to be bridged. Join us as we discuss the importance of mutual empowerment and wisdom-sharing, creating a unified space where everyone belongs..
