Contact UsMarriage Ministry
The ministry offers a pre-marriage course (Right Start) and classes geared to feed those who are contemplating marriage to those who have been married for many years (Marriage God’s Way). It is our desire that every marriage be a reflection of God’s glory; that every husband and every wife will not only understand how to apply the principles in Ephesians 5:21-33 to their marriage but that each will fulfill their part in that plan.
We are committed to building, strengthening, and supporting Biblically based marriages and drawing others to the source of their success in Jesus Christ.

COUPLES MINISTRIES
The Newly Married Ministry is a collection of small groups comprised of newly married couples that provide opportunity for fellowship with other couples in a similar stage of life.
MENTORING MINISTRIES
Marriage Mentors is a program that meets the needs of couples that are committed to stay in their marriage, but are experiencing seasons of difficulty. Mentor couples will minister to couples in need through listening, taking time to care, see couples throught the hard times, provide encouragement rather than advise, be a loving and caring friend, and faithfully pray.
MARRIAGE COUNSELING
The Caring and Marriage Ministries partner in serving troubled marriages. The Caring Ministry has connection with many professional Christian counselors to whom referrals can be made.
Marriage Classes
Marriage classes are offered on an on-going basis. Topics range from “what is God’s purpose for marriage” to “how can couples better communicate”; from “how can we better handle conflict” to “ what does Scripture have to say about sex, finances, children and families of origin?”
