Resources to strengthen your family

For many years, Jerry and Lynn Jones have shared their Marriage Matters seminar to strengthen marriages.  We have been fortunate to have them here twice.  If you missed their conference sessions, please visit their website. They provided a number of resources, including books and websites, on a variety of topics, some of which are listed below. For those members of our church family who would like to check-out the DVD set of the Marriage Matters eight core presentations, please contact the church office.

If you would like to download their full list of additional resources, click here.

We also have several resources on our Sexuality Resources page.
