February 18-19, 2022

Join other young adults on a journey to explore the beauty of singleness and marriage based on God’s good gifts and His design in creation. There is a longing in the human heart to be unconditionally accepted and deeply affirmed by others regardless of our identity, status, possessions, or distinctions from others. God has designed us to experience contentment, fulfillment, peace, joy, and delight in who we are in Him and His will, whether single or married. This is the beauty that He intended! Come and discover!
