Recalibrate

Marriage Conference

ReCalibrate

Over time, we can find that our marriage gradually drift off course from God's intended design and often times need our hearts and minds renewed in our view of our marriages by God's Word

Recalibrate is a conference to provide the marriages of First Irving an opportunity to be reminded of God’s original purpose and goal of marriage. So that as we grow in our continued understanding, we, as individuals and as couples might be conformed into a closer resemblance of Christ and His love for us, His Church.
