Theme

Speak Life Our marriages are shaped by the words we speak. Speak Life centers on Colossians 4:6, inviting couples to slow down, reflect, and re-learn how to communicate with grace. This retreat is a space to grow in wisdom, deepen connection, and allow God to transform the way we speak to one another

    Worship: Aaron and Lauren Flores

     have been married and leading worship together for more than 15 years, serving the church with a shared passion for Christ-centered worship. As parents of four, their lives and ministry are rooted in faithfulness at home and a deep love for the local church.

    Together, they lead with pastoral care, wisdom, and humility, creating worship environments that are welcoming and centered on Jesus. As worship leaders, songwriters, and creatives, Aaron and Lauren have written and recorded original songs and have traveled to lead and mentor other worship leaders and creatives in churches ranging from hundreds to thousands.
