Registrant Information

  • An average family may spend up to 4 hours a week at church. That means the remaining time is outside of church! Should the task of discipleship be limited to those 4 hours? In this workshop, you will learn of God’s command to disciple others and how it begins in the home. You will gain some practical ideas to use right away to help make Christlike disciples in your own family, no matter the size, shape, or age!

  • Becoming a grandparent is an unparalleled joy, and certainly the reward of having survived parenting our children through all those challenging stages. Now you can laugh when your grandchild does the same things that made you so frustrated when your kids did them! Celebrate the joys of being Grand - and discover ways of greatly impacting your next generation.

  • When you decide to say yes to the Lord and ask Him to expand your territory, the Lord will put you in positions of influence and authority that you never thought possible. In this workshop, you will learn how to know when God is calling you and how to step into that calling with confidence and faith.

  • Moms In Prayer … Put “The Full Armor of God” over your children & their schools. What is needed and missing in our schools is PRAYER! Join us and learn to pray Scripture ”God’s Word” over your children and their schools
    “GOD is Faithful!”

  • Los retos a los que la Mujer Cristiana se enfrenta hoy en dia, no deben ser motivo de vivir como el mundo vive. La presencia de Cristo debe brillar en su vida y alumbrar a los de su casa, su Iglesia y su comunidad.

  • Este verso nos habla de que la mujer necia derriba su casa con sus propias manos, pero no se puede derribar algo que no se ha construido. La pregunta entonces es, ¿En qué momento esta mujer sabia comenzó a actuar con necedad y derribó lo que había edificado?
    Aprenderemos tres aspectos en los que la mujer de hoy muy fácilmente actúa con necedad y con sus propias manos derriba lo que ha edificado.

  • While many feel that science and the Bible do not align, Dr. Zambrano uses her scientific background to prove incredible details about science backed by the Bible that will knock your socks off! She specializes in Creation Ministries and piecing together the incredible proof of physics, genetics, geology, biology and more all found in the Bible. She has studied extensively at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky and the Creation Museum in Dallas. You will be amazed at the facts she shares! Shock and impress your friends!

  • Why do I want to control every area of my life and sometimes ... the lives of others? Why can’t I fully do my best and just trust Christ with the rest? I’m such a Martha ... never a Mary! Sound familiar? If you are a Control Freak and need some Biblical help to keep from becoming a full-blooded Martha - join this workshop!

  • ‘Dear God,
    Since you are right here with me, can I ask you a question?
    What is going on?!’
    The world has been a scary and unrecognizable place over these past 2 years! Join this workshop to learn how tap into Jesus' power to cope with sudden (and not so sudden) life changes. There are answers and true hope for this strange world where we are called to share the Good News!

  • Are you struggling with controlling your emotions? Are you overwhelmed with life experiences that have left you or a loved one feeling sad, depressed, anxious, angry or even suffering with PTSD? If so, you’re not alone. Join me as we explore how King David suffered from traumatic life experiences and used those traumatic experiences to forge a closer relationship with God and learned to walk by faith and not by sight.
    This session will give you the tools needed to dig up unhealthy emotions and behaviors that are robbing you of your joy and contentment. Your brain is always listening and responding to negative hidden thoughts and unless you recognize and deal with them, they can steal your happiness, spoil your relationships, and sabotage your health.
    Don’t let negative emotions dictate your emotional state! Uproot negative emotions with sound advice and techniques that will foster true, spiritual regeneration!

  • Nosotras como hijas de Dios, día a día debemos renovar nuestras mentes para lograr hacer la voluntad de Dios y para que El pueda cumplir sus propósitos en nosotros.

  • A pesar de nuestras pruebas no debe parar nunca nuestra alabanza. Podemos enfrenta todo tipo de tormentas en nuestras vidas porque Jesús es nuestra ancla.
