MARRIAGE MINISTRY
God designed marriage to be a life long journey between a husband and wife. The journey is often filled with beautiful scenery. Sometimes, however, the terrain can become difficult, and it is hard to know which direction to take.
This ministry is a resource for Christian couples in all stages of marriage. We offer Christ-centered classes, seminars, counseling and materials to help couples navigate through all the twists and turns of marriage.
"For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19:5-6
"'I hate divorce,' says the Lord God of Israel, 'and I hate a man's covering himself with violence as well as with his garment,' says the Lord Almighty. So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith." Malachi 2:16
