If you have any questions concerning the new date, or your ability to attend on that date, please contact [email protected].
We apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment caused by this decision to reschedule the Symposium. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Gain insights on God’s design for marriage, learn communication patterns, effective strategies for a healthy relationship, and how to manage crises together.
Two-part Symposium – Continuing Education Hours Available*
New DATE: Saturday Only, August 22: 8:30pm – 4:30pm CT
Great marriages are never built on a 50-50 proposition. When it comes to active participation or commitment, it’s only when each spouse is giving 100% that a win-win marriage is attained. In the beginning, God said that it was not good for man to be alone, and He created the marital union. Have you ever heard a person observe a couple and say, “Man, they have a marriage to die for,” and then look wistfully off into the distance?
How to have a God-honoring Marriage
Today, half of all Americans aged 18 or older are married, but divorce rates for those older than 50 continue to rise. Among those 65 and older, the rate has tripled since 1990. Remarriage is also on the rise, with nearly a fourth of all couples coming from a previous relationship. Likewise, we are seeing a significant increase in cultural, ethnic, and religious differences between spouses (Pew Research Center). The challenge for people of faith is how to have a God-honoring marriage and sustain a vibrant and successful relationship with one’s spouse.
Receive Critically Needed Tools
This event is ideal for mental health practitioners, caregivers, pastors, ministry leaders, and those who are looking for a great opportunity to strengthen their own marriages. You will receive critically needed tools that offer biblical hope and practical help for the issues so many couples face today.
Continuing Education hours are available for LPCs and Marriage and Family Therapists. Space is limited.
*HOPE FOR THE HEART IS AN APPROVED CONTINUING EDUCATION PROVIDER FOR LPCS AND MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPISTS, IN TEXAS. UP TO SIX HOURS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION AVAILABLE.

Worship with Will & Crystal Yates
Will & Crystal Yates have been married for 21 years and have two boys. In 2010, after much prayer they followed the Lord’s calling to leave behind their very deep roots in Florida and pursue ministry and music together in the DFW area. They moved to McKinney, TX where they joined the newly formed People and Songs Artist Community and have been involved ever since. They continue to write, record, and release new music for the church, as well as, cultivate up-and-coming writers and worship leaders. Because their lives have been saved and radically changed by Jesus, they have a passion to share the gospel and their testimonies through storytelling, songwriting, and worship leading.
Will and Crystal are the resident worship pastors at Christ Fellowship Church in McKinney.
