Coming up at the end of October, just down the street from us here in Little Rock, an exciting event will be taking place! The Summit on Stepfamily Ministry is the only event geared toward equipping the church to minister to stepfamilies; a significant percentage of communities and churches.
For two days the Summit brings together well-known ministries, experts, counselors, pastors, worship leaders, and lay leaders to network, share best practices, and call the church to prevent redivorce, strengthen stepfamilies, and break the generational cycle of divorce.
We’d love to provide more information if you are interested in attending, but we feel like this is an important event for you to be aware of even if you cannot come down to attend in person. It is GREAT for churches to hold up the ideal of one marriage for a lifetime, but they must also know how to encourage and guide families in all their different forms.
Pray with us for the FamilyLife staff, especially Ron Deal, and all of our visiting guests as we dive deep into blended family ministry!
