ImageA healthy Christian marriage promotes a healthy Christian family. The two are inextricably linked. 

Our mission in Family Life Ministries is to ground every family relationship and marriage upon the Lordship of Christ. This mission is fulfilled through the ministry initiatives listed below.

MARRIAGE PREPARATION
We first help couples who plan to marry, prepare themselves for a lifelong, Christ-centered relationship. This can ensure early on, a Christ-centered family.

These resources will suitably equip your pastor for marriage preparation training. There are also resources for developing a church board policy to standardize the process of preparing your couples for marriage. Be sure and scroll to the bottom of the link.

MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT
Our second initiative is to develop resources and strategies that will cultivate the building and strengthening of already existing marriages.

MARRIAGE INTERVENTION
Our third desire is to intentionally minister to marriages that are on the brink of crisis. There are four steps you and your church can take to address the problem of marriages and families in crisis. Plus there is an urgent request for your help in developing a referral system.
