GraceWomen | Let's Talk - Identity
We will explore the powerful truth of what it means to have an identity in Christ. In a world filled with labels, expectations, and constant comparison, it is easy to lose sight of who one truly is. God’s Word, however, reminds His people that they are chosen, loved, redeemed, and made new in Him.
This gathering will provide space to pause, reflect, and rediscover the unshakable identity found in Christ. Attendees will hear from speakers Eulogia, Lillian Ma, and Christyann, who will share heartfelt stories, practical advice, and encouragement on how the gospel shapes our purpose and priorities.
🍴 Note: The event will conclude earlier than previous ones, and lunch will not be provided.
Men of Grace | Mental Health
Join us as we consider how to deal with mental health in a biblical way and how the gospel transforms everything.
SMBC Children’s Conference
So how do we minister to children and care for families? How can we help families to keep those important lessons about God and Jesus in kids’ minds long after the craft and activities are done?
Join us as we learn from international expert Ed Drew (Faith in Kids), and a host of other children’s ministry professionals on the topic of how to minister to children, with families in mind.
To register, please speak to Susie Chee.
