Marriage

Marriage Ministry

We believe marriage is God’s idea and design and exists to reflect His image. Because we live in a broken world, marriage is often challenging. The Bible and its principles guide marriage and promise each couple a thriving relationship! Mentoring is the vehicle we use to provide an environment where couples can be encouraged and grow together intentionally.

The Marriage Mentoring Process

The marriage mentoring process involves pairing a trained mentor couple with a mentee couple looking for a mentor. Once a mentee fills out an application, the church will make an appropriate pairing with an available mentor couple. Factors like life stage, needs, and the couple’s age are considered when pairing.
