Trained UP

Are you looking for opportunities to grow in your faith?

You're in the right place.

Our Trained UP nights are a time for us to hear from experienced teachers and leaders on specific topics that are relevant to our daily lives as followers of Jesus Christ. These evenings are for the whole family. We enjoy a dinner together, and then split into breakout groups. Kids will enjoy a fun program downstairs while adults and youth enjoy connecting upstairs in their breakout groups. Each Trained UP will feature multiple breakout group options, geared towards adults and youth.

Our next Trained UP night will be taking place on:

November 10 @ 5:30 PM

There is a meal included for the whole family and a kids program available to provide parents with an opportunity to fully engage in their breakout group time.

The average person spends 7 hours a day using screens, that’s nearly 50% of their waking hours. Typically our children are spending 2-3 hrs of this on social media. Todays trends of anxiety, depression, FOMO, loneliness, social isolation, sexting, sextortion, cyber bullying, misinformation and phubbing are all related to media. Your kids need help to navigate it all safely. But who’s going to help you know how to navigate this? Brett Ullman’s Media Talk: Navigating Everything is an essential discussion for parents. 

Brett Ullman is a well known youth culture, media and mental health expert who has been speaking on these subjects for 26 years. People appreciate his well researched, wise and practical approach to todays issues and the way in which he captures your attention. This talk will provide you with steps to take in order to better use media for good and ways to decrease its bad effects. Social media, videond other content online? How much screen time should my kids have each day? Should I monitor all communications my child has and if so, how?

Come join in on this most important conversation. Come away better informed and ready to approach media with intention in your life and family.

John Tabet

The Bible is full of insights and instruction about money. Jesus often used money as an illustration, and how real people made money decisions. Jesus spoke about money in parables, and he also spoke plainly about it. Do you ever wonder what God may have to say to us, you and me, about money in the 21st Century? Are you facing financial decisions, pressures or challenges and want to have more than just human insights in how to approach and make financial decisions? Financial decisions flow out of a personal belief system. Too often the church focuses solely on a giving perspective, but biblical stewardship is about so much more.

John Tabet is an investment professional, holding a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) designation, trained to provide financial counsel from a biblical perspective. Our seminar will focus on providing you with a grounding in just how much the bible has to say about money, and '3 Words About Money', a primer on stewardship that John has taught for over 15 years.
