Becoming a Parenting Partner in a Family Experiencing Crisis
Illini Christian Ministries (ICM) serves families with a spectrum of burdens and strengths. One family may need a weekend of respite care while another may be seeking an open adoption because they cannot provide the support they believe their child deserves. However, there tends to be one common feature between them all; in their time of crisis they have few stable people to rely upon. ICM’s Parenting Partner (foster care) and Domestic & International Adoption Programs give families in crisis the opportunity to voluntarily place their child in the home of a Christian family who is committed to supporting the child physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Mark is the shortest, easiest to read, and fastest paced of the four Gospels, yet it contains a very rich account of Jesus' ministry on earth. This class will go through the text and help you understand Mark and how it applies to your life.

Bruce Parmenter
This is a seven-week course on spiritual formation. Topics covered: baptism, grace, the Holy Spirit, love, the Lord’s Supper, prayer, and vocation.
