About Us

Twin Tiers Family Forum is a volunteer-led community organization that offers networking and informational events in Corning, NY to support Christian youth and families in the Twin Tiers.

History

We began very informally in 2022 as a local gathering of leaders in the Corning, NY community to talk through some of the challenges facing Christian students and families in the post-COVID era.

Attendees at that first meeting said "let's keep doing this!" and so we did - identifying and researching topics of local interest, and then hosting an event to discuss and learn more.

We started using the name "Twin Tiers Family Forum" in 2023. We continue to be an all-volunteer organization with a mission of helping the leaders of Christian youth and families find the information, resources and relationships they need to serve the people in their care.

Shena Rossettie coordinates Twin Tiers Family Forum and serves as the moderator for its events. Shena lives in Corning NY with her husband and six children.

Statement of Faith

Leadership and programming adhere to the following Christian beliefs:

Those stated in the Apostle’s Creed.
The natural world expresses God’s loving design, intelligible by natural reason and by the light of divine revelation.
God created the human person male and female as a reflection of Himself and ordained marriage as the foundation of the family. Sexual activity is only proper as an expression of the marital bond between a husband and wife.
