In this half-day workshop led by Jarrod & Helen Purdon, married and engaged couples will be equipped with a practical, biblically-centered framework for establishing goals for their marriage and home.  Marriages and families are stronger when husbands and wives are unified (Gen 2:24).  This framework has been designed to encourage and motivate couples to take a step back from the urgency of surviving the day-to-day and devote time to prayerfully establish goals together. These goals include, but are not limited to: focused time in the word of God (Bible Study), prayer life, areas of ministry/serving, marriage relationship, financial stewardship, parenting/home life, and individual goals. We spend the first 90 minutes going over the goal setting framework, sharing personal stories and best practices, and motivating couples to interact with one another while discussing the topics. Couples will be sent out on their own to enjoy a 1 hour lunch date and start the process.  Everyone is asked to return promptly after lunch to debrief on their experience and set these goals in motion. 

"The workshop gave us necessary and helpful Biblical goal setting tools, communication skills and other assets that are set apart from traditional goal setting techniques.  We were challenged, in the best way possible, and are now able to build off a foundation of team goal setting annually for the rest of our lives."  - previous workshop attendee from Northside
