Dear Friends,
This summer has three events happening around the state that are worth putting on your calendar. Each one is being offered by organizations we partner with and is designed to equip and connect the people who care most about faith and family in Florida.
1. Worldview Workshop
Presented by the Center for Biblical Worldview, a ministry of Family Research Council
Saturday, July 25 | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Capt. Anderson’s Event Center, Panama City Beach
A full-day workshop designed to equip believers in any role to engage the issues of our culture confidently and biblically. If you’ve ever wanted a clearer framework for thinking through what’s happening in the world around you, this is worth the drive.
2. Shepherds and Shields
A Church Security & Emergency Preparedness Luncheon
Wednesday, July 29 | 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Ocoee Lakeshore Center, 125 N Lakeshore Drive, Ocoee
Churches across the country are navigating real safety challenges, and most pastors were never trained for them. This free luncheon brings together four experienced leaders in law enforcement, security training, and threat assessment for a live panel discussion and Q&A. Seating is limited, and each attendee must register individually.
3. Florida Forward: Faith & Family Forum
Hosted by Anchor Faith Church and Florida Family Voice
Friday, July 31 | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Anchor Faith Church, St. Augustine
As Florida recently marked 250 years of American freedom, we are gathering faith and civic leaders in St. Augustine for a focused conversation about what comes next. You will hear from our CEO, the Governor’s Faith and Community Liaison, leaders from our Church Ambassador Network, and local church leaders about how churches, nonprofits, and civic partners can work together to strengthen families across our state. CarePortal will also be on hand to share how communities are meeting local needs through collaboration. Seating is limited.
We hope you’ll consider attending one or more of these this summer. Each one is a chance to be better equipped, better connected, and better prepared for the work ahead.
