The Marriage Enrichment Weekends offer a comfortable, get-away-from-it-all setting, allowing couples to communicate and experience a deeper appreciation for their marriage partnership.

The Christian Surgeons Fellowship is a section of the Christian Medical and Dental Association, and we meet each year to offer renewal and encouragement to Christian surgeons and their spouses.  For more than twenty years, surgeons have found this meeting to be a unique place of refreshment and fellowship with colleagues who share faith in Christ.  The weekend is open to all surgeons and residents in academic or community practice, and spouses are very much encouraged to attend if possible.  We look forward to this time of growing together in our understanding of how to live out the gospel in the practice of surgery.

Medical missions brings the REMEDY for disease, at home and abroad. And medical missions brings the remedy for sin—Jesus Christ. But in order to do either, medical missions requires healthcare professionals committed to bring the REMEDY – the good news of Jesus. Committed healthcare professionals remain the greatest need in closed countries to provide God’s spiritual and physical remedies. Meanwhile, the world is coming to us, providing daily opportunities to share the gospel with people from most of the 195 countries of the world. Join us at California Baptist University in Riverside, California on October 5-6, 2019 for REMEDY WEST, a CMDA conference focused on bringing God’s remedy to the world via healthcare professionals.
