2016 Fall HomeBuilders Retreat
Ferndale, Arkansas
How about a weekend away to relax, refresh, and strengthen your relationships with God and family? The Homebuilders Retreat is designed to do just that for couples and singles in a beautiful setting with fellowship, Biblical teaching, and time away.
FRIDAY kicks off an awesome weekend with the continuation of two added events! Friday afternoon will be an opportunity for some real HANDS ON LEARNING about building trust and teamwork in your family (see below). This will be followed with a COOKOUT ON THE PATIO and time to experience food, friends, and fellowship. The first general session will be Friday night and don’t forget afterwards the refreshments, free time, fellowship and a movie or a camp fire to re-spark an ember in your relationship.
SATURDAY’S SCHEDULE allows you to customize the conference to meet your specific needs in the areas of marriage, parenting, personal growth, health, family relationships, leadership, and finance with five concurrent morning and afternoon sessions and a general session in the afternoon. A continued event Saturday is CONNECT TIME to allow you to discuss what you have learned in sessions. Saturday afternoon also provides interaction with the speakers with a Q&A Session. The conference’s team of well-qualified Christian speakers and musicians are prayerfully waiting to share God’s message with you.
SATURDAY NIGHT(NEW THIS YEAR) For those desiring extra time away for a date night, special arrangements are being prepared to make it the best ever! Each couple will be given a “date box” with suggested activities — restaurant locations, discussion starters, surprises, etc. — to help plan a night to remember. Just be sure to sign up for Saturday night accommodations!
Come renew your relationship with the Lord, your mate, future mate, or friends while learning practical application of Biblical principles to every-day family life.
Registration Deadline Extended to October 1st!

Did you know that a good, Christ-centered budget can make you amazingly attractive and even SEXY to your significant other? Learn how a spending plan can give you confidence and give your spouse the peace of mind he or she is craving. Get a budget and be sexy! So, you’re married and you’re in love. And maybe you’ve been married for a while, and you’re in love, but there is that blessed thing we all hate — tension. Tension that may lead to treacherous waters in your home; to unrest, to hurt, to quiet bitterness. What you want is peace and you’d give anything to have it in your relationship. Because let’s face it — the absence of peace evades every room, every crevice, every spot on the floor. Let’s talk, ladies. Lets get real. No need to wear the mask! How do we find peace? What does the bible say about peace? What is our role in finding peace? How can we really change the climate? The Bible has so much to tell us about the peace that only Christ can give. Come and sit with me, let’s have some coffee, open the Word and let Him speak! This session will examine the different stages in a man’s life, how his role changes in marriage and family relationships, and how he can maximize his marriage from beginning to end. Godly marriage begins in Heaven: “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” Marriage is a spiritual bond BEFORE it is a sexual one. Marriage is an analogy of Christ’s spiritual bond, supply, and providence over His body. “So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members of one another.” God gave sex in a holy, pure, unashamed, completely intimate world between God and man, man and wife. It is holy. The most central part of marriage is two people becoming one (Genesis 2:24). The expectation is then that marriage will fuse two people together but in reality the turbulence of marriage fragments people from one into two. In this session we will focus on developing a growing marriage by avoiding the relational gridlock. Join in the conversation as we explore God’s design for the WE>ME, the progression of division, and develop Biblical goals for restoration. A consumer relationship is a transactional relationship. In a self-oriented consumer mindset we give the minimum amount for the most we can get. The heart of God is not consumeristic. God is a filler of the earth. God is a giver and an initiator. A God centered person works from a covenant relationship and is free because they are truly known and wholly accepted. What is the most valuable thing that you can pass on to your children: money, family name, heirlooms, or even Grandma’s pearls? The purpose of this workshop is to look at the importance of passing on that which “Moth and rust can’t destroy”. Join us as we discover practical ideas to teach a Biblical perspective of Godly heritage to our children. The theme of this year’s retreat runs counter to today’s egocentric culture. In the quest of me, we and specifically He are moved to the back burner with catastrophic results for the family. To have success in the family, we must reprioritize to HE>WE>ME. We will discuss how we do this in practical ways by focusing our attention to determine our direction to reach our destination.
