BOUNDARIES: Living a Life Free from Offense
"Jesus said it is impossible for offenses not to come (Luke 17:1). Nearly every day we are mistreated by others—often by those closest to us. Left unaddressed, these wounds from past wrongs will wreak havoc in our lives, stealing our vitality and thwarting our purpose." John Bevere, The Bait of Satan
We can't avoid offenses coming our way, nor can we control the behavior of others. But we do have a choice in how we react. Offense is a powerful trap that drives a wedge in all our relationships--with each other and with God. Without learning how to identify and escape the trap of offense, we won't be able to experience the abundant life Jesus promised us!
This 7-week class meets at HQ on Tuesdays from 7pm-8:30pm, beginning October 1.
Cost is $20 and includes all course materials.

GROUNDWORK: Building the Foundation for Financial Peace
CURRENT CLASS IN SESSION
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:21
The Bible has plenty to say about money, over 2000 verses worth! It's never too late--or too early!--to learn to steward our resources well. We really can live debt-free, plan for the future, and live generously when we apply God's ways of handling money. We're excited to launch this first round of this special 10-week GROUNDWORK course on Thursdays from 6:30pm-8:30pm, beginning September 5th. We have room for 10 budgets in this class, so whether you are single or married, we have room for you and your budget! Married couples are strongly encouraged to attend together.
Cost is $40 per BUDGET and includes all your course materials and tools from Financial Peace University.
INTRODUCING AUTHENTIC YOU JR!
INTRODUCING AUTHENTIC YOU JR!
One thing we’ve consistently heard from Authentic You students as they heal, grow, and become equipped to enjoy emotional and spiritual health is this: “If only I learned this when I was younger.” Introducing Authentic You Jr, created specifically for elementary aged children.
Our boys class, “Taming the Monster Within,” runs Thursdays in June starting on the 6th. We’ll be talking about BIG emotions, like rage, fear, worry, in fun and creative ways!
Our girls class, “The Battle Between Truth and Lies,” begins Thursday, July 11th. We’re taking on lies that young girls seem especially susceptible to: Lies about fear, identity, and even friendships.

YOUR MARRIAGE MATTERS
The health of your marriage matters. At Authentic, we understand that a church cannot be healthy without healthy marriages. To that end, helping couples grow healthy marriages is a high priority. We are pleased to be able to offer limited complementary marriage coaching to Partners of Authentic Church whose relationships are struggling or in crisis.
Meet Your Coaches

Jaime and Madison have been married for 7 years and have two beautiful children, Mila and Arden. They met while studying at Vanguard University, where Jaime received a degree in Pastoral Leadership and Madison received a degree in Missions. Madison later went on to receive her Masters in Pastoral Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage and Families from Liberty University.
Having gone through difficulties and overcoming great obstacles in their own marriage, Jaime and Madison are extremely passionate about helping couples thrive in their marriages and become the spouses that God has called them to be. They realize that marriage can be messy, but hope for couples to realize that if they are willing to put in the time, energy, and hard work, God can make something beautiful out of their marriage. Understanding that marriage problems can often seem isolating, they hope for couples to know they are not alone and that healing happen in community and there is great power in vulnerability.

Randy and Ami have been married for 35 years. They have two children along with 7 wonderful, beautiful, fun grandchildren.
The Staggs firmly believe marriage is a covenant and commitment—choosing to love each other through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Their desire is to have a marriage that is honorable to the commitment they made before God, and others.
Randy and Ami’s prayer and hope is to see marriages not only survive, but thrive as God intended. To that end, they help other couples by walking alongside them as coaches.
