Frequently Asked Questions What is Home Improvement Weekend?

We have a team of people eager to serve you. We have been praying intensely for you and your family. We can’t wait to meet each one of you. Who will lead the weekend? Jeff & Debby McElroy. Jeff and Debby have been involved in ministry to families since 1989. Through the years they have become one of the most sought after marriage and family conference speakers across the country. They have a unique style of presenting real tools, for real problems, in a real funny way. “We have to be creative,” says Debby. “We have to present our material in such a way that every person in the family gets it. That means we’ve got to use music, video, high-energy teaching, comedy and thought provoking 3-minute dramas. How long does it last?
