OUR MISSION
Face Every Storm Head-on
Troy First Assembly of God, Troy MO hosted Practical Intimacy. It was an incredible time for everyone who came. Brad and Rebecca incorporated solid Biblical principals, real life stories, interactive exercises, video clips and a dose of humor into a powerful Saturday morning. Their style was laid back and relatable - and their insights were spot on. It was also wonderful to see the way they tag-teamed the teaching/presentation, working hand in hand, drawing upon their training and their experiences of courtship, marriage and the challenges of raising a young, growing family. We've received nothing but positive feedback from all of our attendees. I am happy to recommend Brad and Rebecca Parks and Practical Intimacy. - Joseph Britian, Lead Pastor - Troy First Assembly
