Domestic Abuse: The Response of the Church

The Heart of Abuse and the Healing of the Heart Conference
with Darby Strickland

In partnership with The Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation and Grace Bible Church, New Life will be hosting Darby Strickland as the keynote speaker for The Heart of Abuse and The Healing of the Heart Conference from October 1st-October 2nd*. By bringing local believers and church leaders together to learn how to best care for victims of domestic abuse, our hope is to raise awareness and equip to care in cases of domestic abuse for a broad range of Christians and church leaders. Registration, agenda and additional resources can be found below. 

*October 2nd is a special learning event designed specifically for ministry leaders. Attendees will receive a free copy of Darby's book, Is It Abuse: A Biblical Guide to Identifying Domestic Abuse and Helping Victims. Light refreshments will also be available for attendees.
Darby Strickland, M. Div., holds a Master of Divinity degree in counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary and a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Chicago. She has been a counselor with CCEF for fifteen years with a special interest in domestic abuse and families of developmentally delayed children. She has supported the ministries of local churches as a Bible study teacher, seminar and retreat speaker, and support group leader. She teaches in the field of counseling abusive marriages and has written on the subject for the Journal of Biblical Counseling. She is married to John and home-schools three children.
