Matthew Soerens leads the organization’s advocacy work and serves as National Coordinator of the Evangelical Immigration Table. He is a thoughtful evangelical voice on immigration, refugee policy, and what it looks like for churches to engage the hardest questions of our moment without losing their witness. Join us for a live evening of conversation, Q&A, and dialogue.
Free and open to all.

Cherish: From Individualism to Intimacy
Over time, many marriages drift into something more like a shared life than a shared heart – two people managing schedules, responsibilities, and routines, but slowly becoming more independent than connected. The spark fades, conversations get practical, and intimacy – both emotional and physical – can feel distant or out of reach.
You’re invited to a morning with bestselling author and marriage teacher Gary Thomas as he invites couples into a different vision of marriage – one marked by deeper connection, renewed intimacy, and a shared pursuit of God. Drawing from his books Cherish, Sacred Marriage, and Sacred Pathways, Gary will offer practical, faith-rooted insights to help you move from simply coexisting to truly knowing and delighting in one another.
