The Lord has once again blessed us with a great line up of presenters
and workshops in 2006. The 90 workshops scheduled are topically
diversified, ministry specific and cover a wide range of marriage
and family ministry, and educational areas.
Marriage Enrichment (Education), Family Ministry, Stepfamily
Ministry, Single-Parent Family Ministry, Sexual Wholeness, Reconciling
Relationships, Community Marriage Initiatives and Leadership Development
are only 8 out of over 12 topics that are all part of the training
mix.
The majority of the workshops are designed to give you hands
on training, experience and exposure to best practices and specific
ministry models/tools that you can implement in your own ministries.
When reviewing the many workshop options below you will find
the presenter’s website links so you can learn more about
the presenters and make better choices on what workshops you will
sign up for.
