Art of Marriage Conference

Join us for the Art of Marriage Conference, hosted by Chinese Evangelical Church in Hillsboro, OR on 11/07 - 11/09.  

This weekend is designed to empower and equip you on your relationship journey, no matter what stage you’re in.  Whether you’re single and preparing for a future marriage, or married and trying to hold it together amidst the daily realities of kids, career, and bills, this weekend is for you.  If you’re dating, or an empty nester, or part of a blended family, this weekend is for you.  Together we’ll explore a Biblical perspective on marriage and how to put those principles into practice.  Come and invest in your relationship with your spouse (or future spouse-to-be).
