Family Faith at Stella Maris
Bridge the gap between faith and life
Family life with Jesus is different.
Family life can be chaotic. We’re going in a thousand directions. Our kids are up against more stressors than ever before. The pace of modern life is exhausting. And there never seems to be enough time.
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is the answer to life’s difficulties. But knowing that doesn’t mean we automatically know how to let him reign in our lives and calm our inner storms.
Family faith events at Stella Maris are designed to help you deepen your family’s friendship with Jesus and allow him to be the Lord of your heart and your home, so that your family life can overflow with the fruits of the Holy Spirit. We want to equip you to do real life with Jesus, so your heart finds true rest, and your kids naturally fall in love with him and his Church.
“…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…” (Galatians 5:22-23)
Our events range from interactive experiences for the whole family to parent-focused talks and date nights with built-in childcare and a focus on Christ. Come bridge the gap between faith and life, learn how to let Jesus fight your battles for you, and laugh a little along the way.
"I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly."
