Community Education
We believe that everyone has the right to know the dignity of the human design and how the body works, and that this education changes at different points in life.
Part of our mission at Bella is to help every person realize their own dignity. We offer workshops for men, women, couples, high school teens, middle schoolers, and postpartum moms. Although the content is tailored for every group, the resounding theme is the same - we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Bella’s marriage prep offers insight into:
Basic anatomy and physiology
