"We join in covenant with God and our spouse on our wedding day and seal this covenant with the giving and receiving of rings."  A good marriage must be cultivated and maintained like a garden. Our purpose is to support and encourage engaged and married couples to develop and live fruitful, Godly lives, as one in Christ. We believe God has a purpose for every couple, in every season of their life that will reflect His character and contribute to the body of Christ.

Our goal is that your marriage doesn’t just exist, but grows through the laughter and tears of life. We invite you to grow with us in all Marriage Ministry events!

Date nights: A “practical” time of fellowship, fun, worship, videos, prayer, and potlucks. A relaxing and informal time to be encouraged.

Yearly marriage event: A weekend event ranging from fun and games to teaching and worship. A getaway time to learn about each other and to be challenged by God through guest speakers and couples from our congregation. This “tune-up” time is designed to dig deeper as husband and wife.

We encourage couples to attend other day or weekend conferences to hear nationally known speakers. We will promote these through church communications.

Is your marriage going through a tough season? Do you have friends who are? Here are some ways that we may be of help:

• Lighthouses - Our small group network is a place for couples to grow closer together as they share life with other couples. We have Lighthouses for families and adult only groups. Please contact the Church Office or visit the Information Center for more information.
• Life Support  - These groups meet in the Fall and Spring and deal with issues that directly affect your marriage, such as communication, relationships, finances, boundaries, and more. Click on the link to be directed to the Life Support page, or see the bulletin and church calendar for specific times and dates.
• Biblical Guidance - Please contact the Church Office for an appointment if you would like to meet with a pastor for more personal contact.
