Events
Noble Institute is our Seminar and Workshop Ministry, founded in 1998.
The Households of Strength Seminar will be Our Flagship Quarterly Event (Beginning in March of 2027).
What is a Household of Strength and why should you want your home to be one?
A Household of Strength can be any home where the goodness & wisdom of God is lived out for the world to see. It is an Embassy of the Kingdom of God, where at least one family member is living as an Ambassador for Christ. Becoming a Household of Strength is a very practical way to bring the Lordship of Jesus Christ into every area of life. And the results are good for everyone.
“Be wise. Understand what the will of the Lord is. Make the most of your time. Husbands, love your wives. Wives, respect your husbands. Children, obey your parents. Fathers, train up your children. Employees, serve your employers faithfully. Employers, be kind and generous to your employees. Everyone, practice hospitality. While you are at it, make it your ambition to lead a quiet life by minding your own business and earning the respect of outsiders.” — The Apostle Paul
Do all these commands really fit together into one beautiful Way of Life? Yes, they do. With just a few basic lifestyle decisions, made quietly and humbly on the basis of your faith in the competence of Jesus Christ as your King, your household can be part of the glorious display of God’s goodness and wisdom in your unique circumstances. In The Households of Strength Seminar, you will learn what those basic decisions are, and how you can make each one work together for the good of everyone involved.
We intend to offer this flagship seminar once each quarter, beginning on the 2nd weekends of March, June, September of 2027 and January of 2028.
The Registration Fee will be $99 per person. Seating will be limited to 24 attendees per seminar.
More Details and a Registration Portal will be made available soon.
Our Dinning Room, Living Room and Music Room/Parlor serve together as the auditorium for our Annual Workshops & Seminars.
