Couples Checkup
We’re launching a new Equip Group called Couples Checkup, beginning October 22 with Dr. Walter Mullican. This Equip group is for dating, engaged, and married couples to assess, understand, discuss, and strengthen their relationship together.
Each couple will complete the scientifically based Couple Checkup assessment, which helps you see your unique strengths and growth areas. To join, only one person needs to register, both you and your partner. The cost is $20 per couple. After registration and payment, you will receive a unique access code to take the assessment. You and your partner log in separately and complete your own portion of the assessment - Both you and your partner will log in with the same account number and password.
It is very important that each of you completes the assessment separately and not together to ensure accurate and meaningful results. Please register soon and complete your assessment by October 22 so you are ready for the first session.
Register today and invest in a healthier, more connected relationship!

We’re gearing up for one of our biggest community events of the year, and you can help make it sweet! Our goal is to collect 60,000 pieces of candy to hand out to kids and families who join us. Drop your donations in the candy boxes by the elevators.
We’re also looking for 60 trunks to bring the fun! Whether it’s your family, life group, or a few friends teaming up, decorating a trunk is a great way to serve and have some fun together.
Not up for decorating a trunk? There are plenty of other ways to join in!
