Help for parents | Fun for kids

Parenting may be the one job we love most and feel least prepared for. On September 26, spend an afternoon built for your whole family: practical sessions with author Jim Burns and other experts, Triumph Sports Camp for the older kids, and story-filled play for the littles. Then everyone comes back together for family fun fest with inflatables and free food. Real help for parents, and a day your kids will talk about all week.

Shanda Gunter

Shanda Gunter is the Care Pastor at Chase Oaks Church, where she has the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life's most difficult and meaningful moments. She is passionate about helping families build healthy relationships, navigate hard conversations, and create homes where both parents and children can thrive.

Shanda and her husband, Jeff, are raising two energetic boys, so she knows firsthand that parenting is equal parts beautiful, messy, exhausting, and deeply rewarding. Her heart is to encourage parents that they don't have to have it all figured out—they simply need to be intentional as they point their children toward Jesus.

When people say, "It takes a village," they're right—it really does take a village to raise a family. We weren't meant to navigate parenting alone, and a group is one of the best places to find encouragement, wisdom, and people who will walk alongside you long after the conference ends. Check out our groups and our short-term groups for ways to connect!
