The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to focus on strengthening your marriage for the long haul. Join us January 20–21 for the SHPC marriage conference, where you’ll enjoy time with your spouse, learn how to establish life-giving patterns of relating to God and to each other, and connect with a community of couples also seeking to grow their marriages. Whether you’re dating, engaged, or have been married for fifty years, this conference is designed for you.
Registration is $40 per couple and includes dinner on Friday evening and a light breakfast on Saturday morning. Childcare is not provided Friday night, but there is childcare on Saturday.
