building healthy family!

Part of our mission is to build, equip and empower healthy families within our church and as a church. We believe the greatest call in ministry begins at home to lay a foundation of love, grace, connection and growing in your relationship with God together as a family unit.

When families thrive:

  • Children grow up secure and confident

  • Marriages display unwavering love and longevity

  • Communities grow stronger and more connected

  • Generations learn from each other and grow

This year, we felt led to invest time into our Bethesda Church family with a weekend dedicated to addressing the challenges families are facing in our modern world and the opportunities heaven wants to release to bring healing, restoration and breakthrough to every family. 

Each session will be dedicated to one people group where we will have real, vulnerable discussions about the topics that matter to you most. We ask that only married couples attend the Thursday night session.
