The Conference
A Day Full of Powerful and Inspiring
Talks and Workshops

9:00 am
Divorced members of the church often find themselves rebuilding and redefining their lives and identities, with few places to turn to for guidance and support. The purpose of this conference is to provide a place where divorced saints can come together and find the support, inspiration and guidance they are looking for.
Our workshops and speakers will address the following questions:
​
How can I go back to dating in the church when I feel different, judged and unwelcome?
How do I allow myself to be vulnerable again and open my heart to new relationships and love?
How do I help my kids cope with divorce?
How can I better budget and save as a single parent? What are the best "work-from-home" opportunities for single parents?
How can I develop better relationships with my church leaders when I don't feel they know or understand my needs? How can I get involved with my ward family when I feel "different" from other families there?
How can music help in my healing and rebuilding process?
How can healthy eating and fitness help in my healing and rebuilding process?
How do I renew my faith and hope in Jesus Christ when I feel let down in my pleadings to save my marriage?
How do I move on and set goals for the future that will reignite meaning and happiness in my life?
Whether your divorce was recent, or you have been divorced for many years, the purpose of this conference is to help you find answers to these questions and other concerns you may have. Most of our speakers have been where you are, and know first hand your needs and challenges. They will share with you what they have learned from their own journeys, grief and rediscovery. They will share what sustained them through their hardest moments, as well as methods and efforts that helped them turn to the Savior and thereby become who they are today.
You will leave this conference with answers, renewed resolve and skills to help you navigate life's challenges with increased faith and vigor. You will learn techniques that help foster healthy relationships, built to withstand the storms of life through a foundation established upon The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Indeed, the Savior's ministry demonstrates that He is far less concerned with where we have been, and far more concerned with where we are going. It is in this spirit that we join together for a conference geared towards tomorrow, and turning grief into growth through our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
We hope you can join us and help spread the word!
