OUR LATEST TALKS ON MARRIAGE
When you say “I do” to someone you promise a lot of things. Most of the time we get those promises mixed up. This past February we challenged those who are married and those looking for marriage to see beyond themselves and recognize the lasting promises that make marriage last.
The Marriage Course
The Marriage Course is a series of seven sessions, designed to help couples invest in their relationship and build a strong marriage. Reach out to our team for information on the next course.
MARRIAGE PREP COURSE
This course is for engaged couples! Twice a year, we offer an 8-week course to help couples identify and overcome stumbling blocks to building a healthy and life-long marriage. Our next course will be in Fall 2024.
