Ryan Page, Executive Pastor
Colossians 3:18-21
18Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them. 20Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord. 21Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.

Colossians 3:18
18Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Who? Wives
What? Be subject to your husbands
Why? It is fitting in the Lord
Graciously allowing your husband to lead.
Ephesians 5:22-24
22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.
Colossians 3:19
19Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.
Who? Husbands
What? Love your wives
Why? So you will not be embittered against them
Ephesians 5:25-31
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. 28So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30because we are members of His body. 31FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.
Colossians 3:20
20Children, be obedient to your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Who? Children
What? Be obedient to your parents
Why? It is pleasing to the Lord
Matthew 19:13-15
13Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 14But Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15After laying His hands on them, He departed from there.
Ephesians 6:1-3
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.
2 Samuel 19:4
4The king covered his face and cried out with a loud voice, “O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
Colossians 3:21
21Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.
Who? Fathers
What? Do not exasperate your children
Why? So that they will not lose heart
Ephesians 6:4
4Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Plan your visit.
Hey there! We know what it’s like to walk into a new place — it can be intimidating. We want you to feel right at home when you visit The Brook.
What to expect.
We’re excited to have you join us at The Brook Church! Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect when you visit for a Sunday morning service. Have questions? See our FAQ below.
65 minute Services
A typical service will last about 65 minutes with a mix of contemporary and traditional music that is led by our worship team. Our pastors share a Biblically-based message relevant to real life.
Students & Kids
Our Students (grades 5–8) and Kids Ministries (infants – grade 4) each offer identical, age-appropriate Bible teaching during both Sunday morning services. High school students (grades 9-12) attend our adult worship services.
Family Worship Days
The last Sunday of each month we come together for Family Worship Services (kids + students + adults worshiping together). Kids ministry is available for infants – pre-K only.
