More than roommates marriage conference

january 31 - february 1, 2025 | HARRIS CREEK

Marriage is like a good song—when you like the melody, the beat, the way the voices and instruments work together, you want to hear that song over and over again. But when the notes clash and the instruments are out of tune, you remove that song from your playlist. This year at the More Than Roommates Marriage Conference, we want to help you make beautiful music together in your marriage. So warm up your vocal chords, come ready for a tune up, and join us for teaching, breakouts, worship, and a whole lot of fun!

staff spotlight

Scott michael | frontlines, men, & second half

My name is Scott Michael, and I joined staff here at Harris Creek 2.5 years ago helping lead Frontlines, Men, and Second Half. I have an amazing wife in Sally, She’s the fun one, and have been married for 31 years. We have been blessed with 3 amazing adult kids: Ryan (and his wife Becca and granddaughter Hattie), Abby, and Gracie. It’s been fun to be back in Waco for this season but even more fun to have our kids all living here as well. We love to spend time together as a family, with friends, and traveling pretty much anything outdoors.
