THRIVING FAMILIES

It's Monday morning at your place...

...the sun is shining, worship music echoes through the house as your family finish their morning prayers and scripture reading together. Everyone is calm, teeth have been brushed, your teenager is in a great mood, and shoes have effortlessly adorned your toddlers feet. Like every other day, there's been no tantrums, and everyone is perfectly on time. As you grab your keys that are sitting in the exact spot you left them yesterday, you think to yourself "wow, how blessed I am". You kiss your partner on the forehead as you hand them their coffee, and off you go. Once again, your week is off to a perfect start #TooBlessedToBeStressed.

Not your house? Not your story?

Neither. Look, life is big, our brains are busy, and the pressure on couples in 2025 is ever increasing. We all want a strong marriage and a thriving family - but we're also running on autopilot most days. We know that to improve or strengthen our life it's going to take getting on the same page as a couple, and doing the work that's needed to lead our family through the decades. But when, and how, and where do we start?

Enter, Love & Legacy.

A weekend all about helping you take your marriage and parenting to a new level of strength. A weekend designed to make room for big chats, and equip you to make meaningful change in your family. A weekend of learning and growing, shoulder to shoulder with other faith-filled couples on a similar journey to you.

Register now, and we promise your toddler will eat their dinner tonight without smooshing it all over the table*.

*obviously we cannot promise this and we take no responsibility for how your toddler chooses to engage with their meals.

Friday Night - "Marriage Enrichment"

Whether you've been married for 40 years or 4 weeks, this is an evening for you! With a download from Dr Chas and room for Q&A on all things marriage, this is a night that you won't want to miss.

TIME: 6:30 - 8PM
ENTRY: Free
KIDS: Child minding not available this evening

Saturday - "Help, I'm a parent"

Saturday is all about parenting tots through to teens. Every stage of parenting has its own quirks and perks, and just when you think you've figured it out, kids level up to a new stage. So, let's talk about it, laugh about it, and grow in our ability to navigate it.

TIME: 9AM - 1PM
ENTRY: $60 (includes brunch)
KIDS: Child minding available if required for ages 1 to grade 6.

FAQs

We are able to offer basic child minding during the Saturday sessions for children aged 1 to grade 6 if you do not have any other child minding available. Children will need to bring their own food and drinks and will be released during the brunch break for your supervision at this time.

Friday night is all about marriage - no matter if you've been married for 4 weeks or 40 years. There's room to learn and grow with us for this night. Aaaand it's free. So come along and then head out for a dessert date afterwards

Yes, absolutely! Saturday will be all about parenting - whether you're doing it solo or as a couple. We will set a foundation for the day about how couples can approach the parenting journey with unity, but from there it's all about parenting tots to teens!

Yes, Goodlife Youth will still be running, but in a different location. Follow Goodlife Youth on instagram for updates.

Absolutely! If you want to learn and grow, and you are able to make it in person, then you are very welcome! None of the content will be specifically related to being a Goodlife church member.

In short, no. We believe there is something to be caught by being in the room with others for this kind of event, and as such we are only offering in person registration.
