Training Young Ladies in Biblical Womanhood
Are you a parent looking for a special opportunity for your daughter to grow and learn alongside Godly women? Are you a young lady longing to go deeper in your relationship with Christ while gaining useful skills for fruitful service? Check out Excel! Through sessions, hands-on workshops, and life-on-life discipleship, young ladies will be equipped to grow in grace, wholesome beauty, and godliness. The summer Excel class begins August 3 with five weeks of study from home, followed by 5 weeks of study in Big Sandy. Registration closes on August 1. 
Do you desire to draw closer in your mother-daughter relationship? Do you and your daughter desire to grow in your relationship with the Lord? We are excited to host a conference just for you! Taking place August 12–15 in Big Sandy, Texas, the COMMIT Conference is designed to encourage mothers and daughters to make Christ the first priority in their lives.

Take Your Walk With God to the Next Level 
True life is experienced only when a person is walking in relationship with Jesus Christ. Rise Up! will challenge you to encounter God for yourself and see how His personal relationship with you affects every area of your life. Each 12-week course is comprised of online training videos, written material and assignments, online group meetings, and accountability for spiritual disciplines. Join us for one of our summer sessions! Groups are starting on August 17 and September 21.

As he began to spend time meditating on Scripture, God showed him things from His Word that he had never seen before. He also learned about the importance of giving thanks in difficult circumstances. God did a deep work in this young man's heart and, by the end of the week, he did not want to leave. Read more . . .
