Current Series, Love Does

In good times and bad times, Jesus taught us that love should be our highest aim. Nothing defines His people like love. Love is like a hurricane that can change the landscape of a heart, a marriage, a home, a community, and a nation. When love does, it moves us beyond a sweet and romantic feeling to a life poured out with kindness, care, sacrifice, and generosity. There is nothing more powerful. It’s a movement that can’t be stopped.

We will have some available to pick up at the office during the week. If you are not local, and would like to order one online for $5 (shipping & processing fee), click here.

Love Does Guest Speakers:
-February 14 Dave and Ashley Willis spent thirteen years in full-time church ministry before devoting their work entirely toward the global mission of building stronger, Christ-centered marriages. Their marriage-related books, blogs, podcast, speaking events, and media resources have reached millions of couples around the world making Dave and Ashley one of the most recognized and trusted couples in marriage ministry.

Every parent makes mistakes with their children but a home with love as the foundation is so important.

Love Does Stories: If you have a story that births out of this month, we would LOVE to hear about it! It could be a change in you, a way you were able to bless someone else, a repaired relationship…whatever it may be, encourage us with your story here.
