An Experience for Dads and Their K–6 Kids

Memories that last.

Moments that matter.

In a world full of distractions, schedules, and noise, Built to Be Present is a chance to slow down, connect, and invest in what matters most — your kids. It’s something you’re going to do together – hand in hand, side by side. 

Malachi 4:6 – “And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers…” 

This event is designed to help you create meaningful memories, strengthen your bond, and show your children that they are seen, valued, and loved.
