Family Summit

This September, we’re placing a special emphasis on strengthening families and relationships through biblical encouragement and practical teaching.

Family Summit

On Wednesday, September 9, we’ll launch the Rosedale Family Summit—a four-week, conference-style experience where attendees can choose from four different sessions each week: Parenting, Marriage, Relationships, or a verse-by-verse study of Hebrews. Each session is designed to stand alone, allowing people to attend any week while receiving practical, biblical encouragement for their current season of life.

Our goal is to strengthen homes, encourage relationships, and create an inviting opportunity for both our church family and first-time Wednesday guests to grow together.

September 9 Sessions

Parenting: Disciplines That Disciple | Scott & Abby Smith

Location: Chapel

Discipleship doesn’t happen by accident—it grows through intentional rhythms woven into everyday life. In this session, Scott and Abby Smith will explore Deuteronomy 6:4–9 and share practical ways families can create a home where God’s Word is talked about, lived out, and celebrated together.

From mealtimes and bedtime conversations to prayer, Scripture, and everyday moments, you’ll discover simple, biblical practices that help your children grow in their love for the Lord. Whether your children are young or nearly grown, you’ll leave encouraged and equipped to build a home where faith is intentionally passed from one generation to the next.

Marriage: Designed to Last | Dan & Sarah Grant

Location: Conference Room

God created marriage with a purpose, and His design remains the foundation for strong, thriving relationships. In this session, we’ll explore God’s plan for marriage from Genesis to Ephesians, discovering how husbands and wives reflect Christ through love, sacrifice, respect, and unity. Whether you’re newly married, celebrating decades together, or preparing for marriage someday, you’ll leave with biblical principles and practical encouragement to strengthen your relationship.

Relationships: Trust, Hurt, and Rebuilding Relationships | Xavier Small

Parenting: Winning the Heart, Not Just Behavior | Aaron & Erin Burden

Location: Chapel

Every parent wants obedient children, but Scripture teaches that behavior is only the fruit—the heart is the root. In this session, we’ll explore principles from Proverbs and discover why God calls parents to pursue their children’s hearts before simply correcting their actions. You’ll learn practical, biblical principles for building strong relationships, earning influence, and shepherding your child’s heart so that genuine obedience flows from within rather than being forced from without.

Marriage: Heard and Understood | Steve & Trisha Smith

Location: Conference Room

Every marriage has communication, but not every marriage has connection. In this session, Steve and Trisha Smith share practical, biblical tools for listening well, speaking truth in love, and navigating disagreements with grace instead of frustration. Drawing from Scripture and decades of marriage and ministry, they will help you identify communication patterns that build walls and replace them with habits that build trust. You’ll leave with simple tools you can begin using tonight.

Relationships: You’ve Got a Friend in Me | Dan Grant

Location: School Building 4215

The people closest to us often have the greatest influence on who we become. This session explores what Scripture teaches about becoming the kind of friend others need, cultivating relationships that strengthen faith, and choosing wise companions.

Parenting: Smart Home | Dan Grant

This session will provide practical strategies for leading your family through the digital age with confidence, establishing healthy boundaries, encouraging meaningful conversations, and cultivating Christ-centered habits at home. You’ll be equipped to help your family use technology as a tool rather than allowing it to become the master.

Marriage: Expectation vs. Reality | Aaron & Erin Burden

Location: Conference Room

Every couple enters marriage with expectations. Some are humorous, some are unrealistic, and others become painful when reality doesn’t match what we envisioned. In this session, we’ll examine a biblical couple and discover how Scripture reshapes our expectations of marriage. Together, we’ll see how God’s design offers hope, purpose, and joy, even when marriage looks different than we expected.

Relationships: More Table, More Grace | Richard & Elena Moses

Location: School Building 4215

Have you ever felt like your family table keeps getting more complicated? Whether you are part of a blended family or love someone who is, navigating an expanded family requires more than good intentions—it requires grace. In this session, we’ll explore what Scripture teaches about chosen commitment, complicated loyalties, and God’s heart for expanding the family circle. You’ll leave with a biblical framework for the unique challenges blended families face and a renewed perspective on how God uses family to shape us into the image of Christ.

Parenting: Launch Ready | Steve Smith

Location: Chapel

Most kids leave home without the practical skills, financial wisdom, or spiritual maturity adulthood requires.

Whether your children are eight or eighteen, you’ll leave with practical next steps for parenting toward the launch, not just through the years.

Marriage: Two Are Better Than One | Richard Moses

Your marriage is one of God’s greatest tools for spiritual growth—but only if you learn to grow together.
