Steadfast Love
Steadfast Love Prodigals & Estrangement
The first Monday of each month
March 2, 2026 // 6:30pm – 8:00pm // Room 209D
We are thrilled to introduce this new ministry and invite anyone who is struggling with the complexities of parenting or family relationships to join us. A gathering for families with adult prodigals or broken relationships for prayer, support, and the hope of restoration and healing only found in Christ. Many of us have personally experienced similar struggles, including having wayward prodigal children, adult children who have become estranged, or even situations where contact with grandchildren has been lost. The pain from these experiences can be overwhelming and difficult to bear. The Steadfast Love Ministry is dedicated to supporting families who are experiencing such pain and challenges in their relationships at home. Our goal is to come alongside those who are currently facing difficult circumstances, share their burdens, and offer spiritual encouragement. By seeking wisdom through God’s Word, we hold firmly to the hope of rescue and restoration that is found in Jesus Christ. We’ll be meeting the first Monday of each month and would love to have you join us. In Him there truly is strength for today and hope for tomorrow!
