The intensive PGMT class is open to those who have attended at least two weekend retreats or have otherwise satisfied the introductory requirements for this level of training. It meets for 8-10 consecutive weeks each fall and spring under the direction of Gary and Margaret Phillips. Mentoring couples also help lead this series which includes video tapes, teaching, small group discussion and prayer. This is a 4-month intensive small group training experience for married couples. One leader couple facilitates a group of four other couples using a curriculum based on the workbook Intimate Encounters , by David and Teresa Ferguson.
Couples meet as a group each week while completing individual and couple homework as well.
New groups usually begin in January and mid-August. Each fall we offer parenting classes as part of our Wednesday evening equipping program. Classes require some reading and homework to put into practice the biblical principles that are being taught.
