Yes, you CAN turn up the heat on your marriage! Join us during eight weeks in June and July for The Marriage Course.
This is an eight week course designed to help any marriage improve. Whether your marriage is a "10" or a "3", you'll find these sessions practical and encouraging for the two of you. The course is open to every married couple whether part of City Church or not. The sessions will be concurrent with Thursday Nights at ACC, our mid-week summer gatherings during June and July. Each evening will consist of a potluck dinner with the large group gathered in the City Church auditorium. After dinner, we'll go to the classroom for teaching and couple interaction. Each session includes practical exercises that man and wife go through quietly together.
Weekend to Remember will be just that for you and your spouse at the March 25-27 conference in Anchorage. City Church couples who have participated in this annual marriage weekend in the past have come away from it with new tools for building a marriage that works well. Seasoned national presenters provide practical wisdom and insights that will get you the two of you talking, thinking, strategizing and laughing. It's a deeply worthwhile investment in your marriage....grab this opportunity if you can!
Learn how to be a Marriage, Premarital, Parent or Dating Coach at the Life In Motion Relationships Inventory (LIMRI) training
Saturday, Nov 20, 2010 @ ACC 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
The LIMRI makes it possible for couples without formal training to provide help for others seeking to improve their relationship. This training is designed to give potential coaches the training needed to use the LIMRI tool, and the opportunity to apply to be part of the ACC coaching team.
Training includes: o Take the LIMRI to build your own relationship o Extensive manual for long term reference o Lunch & Childcare
Relationship coaching is sharing with others the grace that God has placed in our relationships and families.
Why is Coaching Needed? o Individuals learn best when they have a model to follow. o Coaching can be a very effective way to address areas in our lives that are underdeveloped. o Couple-to-couple or parent to-parent interaction has proven to be very effective. o Coaches empower individuals to be change agents in their own relationships.
How Do We Become Coaches? As a coach you will: o Learn how to use the Life in Motion Relationships o Inventory to identify the strength and growth areas in a relationship. o Teach couples and parents the art of conflict resolution. o Help individuals recognize the grace that God has deposited into their relationships. o Model and equip couples and parents to effectively pray for each other. o Direct couples to other resources to help them in their marriage and family life.
What Does a Coach Do? o Meet four to six times with the couple/parent. o Help the couple or parent to see what is good about their relationship. o Give spiritual and practical guidance. o Assign homework. o Identify strength and growth areas in their relationship. o Experience a new sense of God’s love, grace, and truth in your own relationship with your spouse or children.
