Session Description
The church family is more than parents with kids. It’s everyone together on the same page. Is that even possible? In this breakout we will uncover core family values that God has given to each individual family, as well as the greater church family. So the next time you’re stopped and someone asks: “how’s the family”? You could respond with something like: “it’s a 7.3.” If a family focus is new to your church… this is a “can’t miss” session!

Currently the creative director of the Family Experience at Willow Creek Community Church (South Barrington, IL), Dave works to increase the relational equity and Biblical literacy of families church-wide. He has written no books and is rarely quoted, but has two insanely active kids (Dakoda 10, Skylar 8) and the most patient wife (Nicole) on the planet.
