Parents’ Prayer Ministry

If you are the parent of a teen or adult child who is walking in rebellion against the Lord, you might feel alone—perhaps even hopeless. Finding other believers to pray with you about your child’s situation can be intimidating.

Tenth is starting a group for parents of “prodigal” children. The purpose of the group isn’t to find advice or answers. The purpose is to create a safe space for parents to be known in their sorrow and fear and to pray together for the Lord to have mercy on their children, and to turn them back to himself in repentance.

If you’re interested in being part of this prayer group, confidentially email Executive Minister Tim Geiger here.



Men’s Discipleship Group

Struggling with sexual temptation or sin can prove discouraging, even devastating, to a man’s walk with the Lord and his relationships with others in his home and in the Body of Christ. Tenth is starting a group starting in January to help men who struggle sexually, helping them to come into the light of truth and repentance while at the same time helping them rely on the Lord and not on their own strength to do so.

This is called a discipleship group rather than a support group because the focus is on helping men understand God’s grace applied to them through the Person and work of Jesus Christ. It is, after all, God’s grace that is meant to lead to our repentance (Romans 2:4).

If you are a member or attender of Tenth, age 18 or older who would like help and encouragement in walking in repentance, please prayerfully consider becoming part of this group. You may confidentially email Executive Minister Tim Geiger here.



Saturday Women’s Workshop

The first Women’s Saturday Workshop will continue the conversation with Dr. Kevin DeYoung, from last evening’s Theology Night, regarding God’s blueprint for men and women to flourish as we embrace our respective God-ordained callings. Come spend a morning with other women, and discover, despite our sin, how the grace of the gospel renews men and women to embrace God’s good and complementary design, both in marriage and the church. Registration is $5 per person which includes a delicious Brunch.
