NEW for February 5, 2025 - Kingdom Builder Foundation has granted money to this Wellness Night so that EVERYONE can attend for FREE! Thank you to KBF!

Dr. Chinwé Williams and Will Hutcherson are now coming on February 5, 2025 (6:30pm-8:30pm)

Registration Now Open

This Wellness Night is DIFFERENT! Wellness and One Youth are coming together tonight. All middle school and high school students are invited to join us!

Dr. Chinwé Williams PhD (Licensed Professional Counselor) and Will Hutcherson (Next Gen & Student Pastor) are professionals and amazing speakers on the national stage for youth mental health and the church. This evening our focus will be identifying and navigating challenges that come up in the teen years (including anxiety, despair, and depression) & discovering tools that can help! As parents/grandparents, we will also learn how to help our kids/grandkids develop grit to navigate these challenges.

We were blessed in the Fall of 2023 to have Dr. Chinwé Williams with us; now we get to go deeper with both experts! This is NOT TO BE MISSED! Come, learn & grow.

Please register as there is limited capacity.
