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
