Core4 are on-campus small groups. These groups are organized neatly into four areas of life that we consider essential to a balanced experience. The Core4 are: Faith, Finances, Freedom, and Family. The groups meet on the Grace Family Church campus on Tuesday and Thursday nights starting Tuesday, September 14th and Thursday, September 16th.
Family
Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage
For married couples
Why a "laughter" approach? For one simple reason: to overcome the male objection to the class. Let's be honest, a marriage class isn't the first thing a guy thinks of when he thinks of "a fun way to spend every Thursday night." We get that. Familiar with the fact that women are usually much more open to discussing marital problems than their spouses, Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage is designed with an element of humor that appeals to couples, but is especially well-received by men. By making our event fun and non-threatening, more men are open to attending and both husband and wife end up having a fantastic time.

Growing Kids God's Way
For married couples
What do we want for our kids? Eventually, we'd love to see them grow into contributing members of society, to hold a good job, and to raise a healthy family. But for now, wouldn't it be nice if we could just get through the grocery store without making a scene? Who could have predicted the strategy for grocery store peace is right there with all the other great answers of life...in the Bible.

Blending Your Family
How would you like yours . . . Blended, shaken, or stirred? The number one family unit in our country fifty years ago was the "nuclear or biological family." This family included a husband, wife, and all the children belonging to that marriage or relationship. In 2010, the number one family unit in our country is the "blended or step family." This is a family whose members are linked by combinations of relationships: marriage, divorce, death, and remarriage. Blended families always include children. The goal of this Core4 class will be to assist couples who are in the process ofblending their families.
