for engaged or seriously dating couples

Speakers: Scott and Kristen Kedersha (bio →)

When it comes to joining the military, educating and preparing yourself is the key to success.  It would be foolish to enlist in the military without understanding the basic entrance requirements, reviewing the expectations, exploring the different service branches and deciding between the various career paths.  What’s true of the military is also true when it comes to entering marriage.  Dating couples must thoroughly prepare themselves if they plan to build the strong marriage that they are so excited about!  This workshop is designed to provide dating and engaged couples some insights and expectations about the marriage relationship.

for newlyweds

Speakers: Dr. Craig and Kathy Young (bio →)

For a newly married couple, the first five years of marriage can seem like basic training.  Basic training is when new recruits, coming from all walks of life, are suddenly hit with a high level of discipline and regimentation in an unfamiliar environment.  They are charged to adopt – and adapt – a fixed schedule that most people are not used to.  Through this, the recruit’s mental will and strength is thoroughly challenged.  If not careful, newlyweds can allow early challenges to cause discouragement and disharmony in the marriage relationship.

In this workshop, newlyweds will be equipped with the mental, emotional, and spiritual toughness to stand firm when under attack.

for those married 25+ years

Speakers: Elder Eddie and Zelda Freeman (bio →)

After earning many benefits and entitlements through years of faithful service, there comes a time when a soldier gets to retire.  This means no more rigorous exercises and training; no more early mornings; no more foot marching.  Life for the retired soldier is now on cruise control.  While this is a great thing, living on cruise control for a married couple can be disastrous.  Satan often attacks couples that retire from actively pursuing a vibrant, healthy, growing marriage.

This workshop will challenge seasoned couples to return to “active duty” and begin investing in their marriage again.

for blended families

Speakers: Chris and Gina Wheel (bio →)

Blended families are becoming much more of the norm, yet there are some challenges that a blended family faces that others may not, or at least not to the same degree.  These challenges may include dealing with past pain, hurting kids, and balancing the rules of multiple households.  Often, Satan tries to use these new dynamics to cause division and turmoil in the home.

This workshop is designed to equip couples to join together and stand firm against the attacks of the enemy.

for all couples

Speakers: Tony and Roslyn Scott (bio →)

Landmines are containers of explosive material with detonating systems that are designed to deny ground, injure or kill a person.  They are generally buried within 15 cm of the earth’s surface, making them extremely hard to detect.  Satan has hidden landmines for every marriage that seeks to honor God!

This session will expose, as well as help equip couples on how to guard against, these hidden landmines in an effort to destroy the Christian marriage.
