Our marriage is a precious gift from God. Our church has a vision for building and strengthening healthy, Christ-centered marriages in our community.
“They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:8
We aim to do this by:
- Providing digital/physical marriage resources, teaching, training and conferences
- Establishing a community of mentor/mentee relationships
- Encouraging relationship building and joyful fellowship through marriage-centered activities and events

Marriage Mentoring
Upcoming training session on November 30, 2024
Marriage mentoring pairs up a couple looking to be mentored (mentee couple) with a couple at a later season of their marriage (mentor couple) who can provide encouragement, support and practical advice through guided conversations.
Unsure if you’re qualified to be a mentor? All you need is:
- A good marriage (not perfect!)
- A desire to listen, support and encourage another couple
- A willingness to share your own experiences
- 90 minutes of time, once a month to meet with the mentee couple, for 12 months
All other materials will be provided.
Please contact Michelle Lee at michelle.lee@ecac.ca if you are a couple looking to receive mentoring, or if you are interested in becoming mentor. Training is offered by FamilyLife Canada.
The next Marriage Mentoring online training session is on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
