This initiative offers significant opportunities for young people in District 6 who are looking to enhance their career prospects.

Expanding "Becoming One" Program

Pastor Jim Harbin highlighted the expansion of the "Becoming One" program, which now includes services tailored for individuals:

• Previously focused on couples for over four years
• Now offering classes for individuals interested in co-parenting and relationship skills
• Workshops on effective communication and personal development

Individuals can easily access information and sign up by scanning a QR code provided by Agape.
