Families Matter workshops provide quality Christian education and support related to all facets of family life. Our workshops host highly qualified guest speakers that cover a range of topics for families that include communicating effectively, maintaining family fitness, managing spiritual family time, developing life skills, modifying behavior at home, responding to crisis, and healing from grief. There are kinetic activities that bring the whole family together and sessions for kids that show them how to express themselves in positive ways, have fun with healthy food, and how to respect the needs of others. Interspersed between the highly informative sessions for adults and kids is a variety of live music as well as great food!

This highly unique format allows for the perfect balance between moments of levity, reflection, and fellowship and discussions that are enlightening, informative, and practical in nature. Not only do these workshops provide insight, they are also fun! Speakers provide literature and resources that allow each participant to follow-up and obtain additional information about each topic after leaving the workshop.

​An painful or traumatic experience is a harmful or threatening event that is outside the range of normal experience and beyond control. These experiences can be life altering by negatively influencing the way people think and feel about themselves, others, and God. Additionally, intense emotional reactions can be triggered in normal daily life long after an adverse experience. The post-traumatic stress can be so troubling, that many experience thoughts of suicide and some attempt or complete suicide. Painful life experiences include:

• Death of a loved one
• Severe trauma (life-threatening or potentially life-threatening situations, abuse)
• Divorce / Separation / Breakup / Major Family Conflict
• Developmental trauma (insecure attachments in childhood)
• Chronic diagnoses (individual or within the family) / Addictions / Developmental Challenges
• Circumstances that reinforce negative thoughts and feelings

Only 29% of people with post-traumatic stress symptoms report contacting a mental health professional in the past year, and among the subset with severe depression, only 39% reported contact.

More than 2/3 of post-traumatic stress cases go unreported, for reasons varying from fear of losing employment to fear of rejection from loved ones.

We believe in Jeremiah 29:11!
​“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
