We've got some exciting news to share - we're bringing back the super talented Gospel artist Anthony Evans, Jr. on Sunday, December 15 for both the 9:15 and 11:00 services!

Anthony grew up immersed in a family of influential figures, including his father, Dr. Tony Evans, and siblings who have made significant impacts as speakers, authors, and spiritual leaders. With a profound faith as his guiding light, Anthony embarked on a journey as a worship leader, achieving remarkable success as a #1 Billboard charting Gospel artist, producer, touring performer, and vocal contractor/arranger for some of the music industry’s biggest names.

Helping Teens and Young Adults Break Free From the Anxiety Spiral

This workshop is for parents, educators, coaches, and leaders of preteens & teens.

Anxiety is a normal human response to stressful circumstances. But sometimes anxiety takes more control over us than we would like, and we find ourselves stuck in a cycle of fear and anxious thoughts. That cycle (sometimes called the spiral of anxiety) can leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and exhausted.

Teenagers and young adults already have a lot on their minds, with the pressures of keeping up grades, navigating their future, and keeping their social life intact. Anxiety can make life even more difficult.

In this workshop, Will Hutcherson and Dr. Chinwé Williams will help parents discover the lies that can keep teens spiraling in anxiety. Then they'll share the truths to replace those lies, along with practical strategies to help teens break free from the cycle. Will and Dr. Chinwé seamlessly combine both faith and psychology to provide parents tools to help their teens stop believing the lies of anxiety and to thrive instead of just surviving life.
