We invite married and engaged couples to join us August 22-23 for our marriage conference, featuring guest speakers Craig & Yvonne Hanson (Grace Community Church, Maryville, TN). Both husband and wife are ACBC-certified biblical counselors, with a primary focus on marriage and parenting. Friday evening will begin with an optional catered meal at 6pm (reservations are now closed for the Friday evening meal). Covenant Baptist Church is covering most of the cost, allowing couples to purchase a meal ticket for $30 ($15 per person). The first session will begin at 7pm. Saturday morning will begin with a time of fellowship and refreshments at 9am, and the first session will begin at 10am.
The conference itself is completely free, with meal tickets being an optional add-on (details below). We encourage you to invite others!
The conference will be live-streamed for those unable to attend, although one segment will be split into separate sessions for husbands and wives, and we are unable to stream both. Please note: a married person whose spouse is unable or unwilling to attend is still welcome to join us, so long as attending will not create conflict within the marriage.
For additional questions, please email info@covenantbaptistsc.org.
