Step-Families
At Grace Church, we realize marriages and families can get messy. We want to support blended and stepfamilies and to be able to encourage them on their journeys. Contact Tish McCullough ( letishaprince@gmail.com ) to start a conversation about how the Grace family can walk the journey with you.
Homeschool Families
Archers Homeschool Group www.homeschool-life.com/oh/archers | archersofgrace@gmail.com
There are a growing number of books, websites, and resources on the subject of Marriage and Families claiming to be from a Christian or God-honoring perspective. Some align more closely with Grace Church’s Bible-based doctrine, beliefs and practices than others. We have also found that some resources are more helpful than others. As a result we have carefully selected the resources included in these pages. Inclusion in these pages, however, does not mean that we endorse or agree with everything in each resource.
