Blended Family

Ephesians 1:5, NLT
"God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure."

The blended family—so many people have been part of one or have been directly affected by one. And even those who have not most certainly know someone who has. There is no question that the process of building a blended family comes with extra challenges that require intentional work and effort.

However, a blended family can also be a place where a husband, wife, and the children involved experience love, acceptance, and ultimately, joy. How is this possible? We believe, as with all things, when Christ is placed at the center and as the foundation… we will experience peace that surpasses all understanding.

Join us as we explore the blended family. We’ll hear and read firsthand testimonies from individuals who have experienced a blended family from different points of view. We'll explore biblical truth about the topic to see what the Lord says and we will discuss the practical ways that we can support others as they experience the process of a blended family.
