“The Family Portrait” discusses three different stages that the family may go through: Marriage, Raising Children, and Having Adult Children.    

Shame, an issue many women have dealt with since the beginning of time. But there is good news according to Is. 61, Jesus came to bind the brokenhearted and set the captives free from darkness! Jesus came to expose the darkness in our hearts and expel it with His light and truth. This teaching points out women in the bible who suffered from shame, yet whom God used mightily. Scripture and practical life applications are also brought out to help women be free from shame and humiliation, and help you realize the value God had already placed on us before we were even born!

Lifestyle:  Laurie looks at the misconception that God wants worship and explores how God wants RELATIONSHIP with us.  She debuncts the idea that worship is an event that we attend and encourages all to participate in the TRUE worship of God IN SPIRIT and TRUTH.

In this three hour course, Gloria Cotten lays a foundation for those who desire to minister freedom to others who have strongholds in their lives. It is not the aim of the course to equip the student to launch out in ministry in this area, but rather to inspire vision and to impart faith that will lead to further study and preparation. The course is presented in three sessions of approximately one hour each.

Identity One:  Laurie shares numerous personal stories of how God has healed her and restored the shattered places of our soul through repentance, forgiveness and recognizing that we are COMPLETE in HIM.

This 3-hour course examines the first three chapters of Genesis in order to provide at least partial answers to the following questions:

1. What was the vision of God for women when He made Eve and placed her in the Garden of Eden? 2. How did Eve lose the vision God had for her and what can we learn from her mistakes? 3. What are the consequences of Eve’s sin for women today and what can we do about it?

The course covers some of the material addressed by Gloria’s book, In the Beginning.
