Equipped Seminars
| Chapel
The Equipped Seminar Series is held each summer and is an opportunity for the whole church to be equipped in areas vital to the Christian life. These seminars will provide our church body with tools for responding biblically as individuals and for encouraging one another biblically.
Speaker
On Saturday, August 9, our speaker will be Dr. Mark Shaw, Pastor of Counseling at First Baptist Church Jacksonville at Nocatee. He enjoys counseling and giving oversight to biblical counselors, encouraging them while equipping them.
Dr. Shaw is a prolific writer for Focus Publishing (Bemidji, MN). Currently, he has 28 published books and booklets (nine of which are collaborative works). The most notable are The Heart of Addiction: A Biblical Perspective, Divine Intervention: Hope and Help for Families of Addicts, Relapse: Biblical Prevention Strategies, and Understanding Temptation: The War Within Your Heart.
Dr. Shaw and his wife, Mary, have four adult children.
