The Blessed Family

Family Camp

November 12-16 2025

Family is a Genesis One creation and its importance is paramount. Indeed, you cannot have a healthy church or society without spiritually healthy families. Therefore, God has graciously given us His will and instruction for families in His Word. This instruction involves strategies for marriage, parenting, and family economy. Join us this November as we humbly explore how to be the families that God wants us to be.

Come enjoy a week of fun, encouragement, sound teaching and family renewal.

After working in retail banking for over 27 years, Michael transitioned into real estate in 2012 and is now a Real Estate Broker with All City, serving the Austin area.

In 2013, Michael and his family founded FORGE Ministries. As executive director, Michael and the ministry are focused on empowering families with resources, conferences, and events designed to strengthen their homes and faith.
