Created to Belong

Healing Our Earthly Relationships through Our Relationship with God

Our earliest relationships greatly influence the manner in which we relate to others throughout our lives. The attachment to our primary caregivers (our parents) in our first three years was meant to mirror God’s unconditional love toward us. When we are hurt by less than ideal earthly relationships, we can lose faith in the possibility of emotional and spiritual well-being. Because God created us to be in relationship – with each other and with him – we can find peace and hope in his overwhelming love and goodness.
Through an integrated approach involving lecture, video clips, exercises and music, participants in Created to Belong will learn how elements of theology, psychology, neurobiology, and scripture can help create healthier and more satisfying relationships.

Who Should Take This Class:

  • Those actively parenting young children
  • Those seeking a deeper trust in God
  • Those desiring relational healing – with themselves, their families, their children, and/or with God
  • Those curious about how they can build healthier, more functional connections
