Vision

Empower couples to heal, thrive, and live in agreement with God's original design for marriage, leaving a legacy for the generations.

Ephesians 5:30-33: "For we are members of his (Christ's) body. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery–but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."

Goals

• To provide opportunities to strengthen marriages by offering events of interest to couples
• To be available to connect more experienced with less experienced couples in a mentoring relationship
• To provide up-to-date resources to small groups and couples for study and enrichment
• To help young married couples establish a foundation to persevere through the seasons of life through relationship with other married friends
