The Problems Solvers Family Workshop: Rebuilding the Foundations of Faith & Family

The Problem Solvers Family Workshop is a two-day conference that is dedicated to rebuilding the foundations of faith and family in Illinois homes. Strong families with strong values are vital to creating a strong state and a strong nation.

This conference will address two aspects of how we can build strong families that make a difference. First, there is a desperate need to restore the biblical teachings of marriage– what is is and how it best operates for our good and God’s glory. And second, we need to know how to combat worldly problems with spiritual solutions.

Join us for this exciting, informative event, but note that each day is taking place at separate locations! (See information below for more details.)
