Small Groups
We believe that the strengthening of marriages happens best in the context of the community found in small groups. In small groups, you will develop relationships as you build a community devoted to following Christ and sharing his love with others. There are several Small Group materials to help address relationships, parenting, and blended or step family issues.

Preparing for Marriage (Premarital Mentoring)
Available All Year
The decision to marry is one of the most important choices we make in life. Our desire is to help you establish a marriage that will endure and that you will enjoy for a lifetime. The Premarital Mentoring Ministry has trained mentor couples who walk beside you through this time and offer resources and counseling to prepare you for what lies ahead. Through a comprehensive online assessment, the mentor couples pinpoint the couple's potential strength and growth areas. Built upon God's foundation of a healthy Christian marriage, this program implements a solid Biblical framework and sound values. A couple is offered a chance to begin a Christ-centered marriage, equipped with God's plan, not their own plan.
Cost: $75 per couple
