Growth Classes

We provide personal growth classes in the evenings to encourage people in their lives. These classes include: Changes That Heal, Safe People, God Will Make A Way, and Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. The classes involve viewing a video, question and answer time, and small group interaction. These classes are open to both SMCC members and anyone in the community.

 

Marriage Enrichment

Twice a year we offer a researched-based program called Christian PREP, which is designed for pre-marital and married couples. It teaches couples how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and solve problems without damaging closeness. The classes are held on a Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm in Sierra Madre.

 

Parenting With Love and Logic

This class offers parents (and grandparents!) a low-stress, win-win approach to raising children and teenagers. It provides practical and effective approaches for dealing with real, everyday parenting issues. The class runs for 7 consecutive evenings from 7 to 9 PM. The cost is $20 per person or $30 per couple. (Alumni are free.) Child care is provided for those children who are registered.
