Marriage

Experiencing All That God Has for Our Marriages

Married Life

We believe in discipling marriages for Christ

Married Life meets the first Wednesday of every month from September through May. In this community couples have the opportunity to encounter God, grow in their biblical understanding of the covenant of marriage, and surround themselves with other couples who are pressing into God’s plan for doing life together.

If God wants the best for our marriages, then we want to seek what He has to say and learn to live according to His design. Our goal is to help couples grow closer to God, stronger in their covenant, and equipped with a Christ-Centered community around them.  

Together, we will discover God’s design for marriage and learn to live it out—not just for the sake of having a better marriage, but so our marriages can become a transformational blessing and a representation of His Kingdom.

God has a desire for your marriage. Let’s discover it, pursue it, and live it out together.

Experiencing All That God Has for Our Marriages

Married Life provides multiple opportunities for couples to take that journey:

  • First Wednesday Married Life Service — Encounter God and grow together.

  • Married Life R Groups — Build meaningful relationships and grow in community.

  • Group Events — Create shared experiences that honor your walk with God and strengthen friendships.

  • Marriage Conference — Go deeper into God’s design for marriage with a weekend together.  

  • Family Camping Trip — Connect as families, relax & get away from life’s busy schedule and build lasting memories with new and old friends.  

  • Pastoral Encouragement — Receive guidance, prayer, and support for your marriage.

Married Life R Groups

Married Life R Groups are groups designed for couples who regularly attend our First Wednesday Married Life gatherings. These groups are focused on encountering God, growing in their biblical understanding of the covenant of marriage, and surrounding themselves with other couples who are pressing into God’s plan for doing life together.

Expectations

  • Regularly attend Married Life First Wednesday
  • Be committed to regular R Group attendance
  • Desire to grow individually in Christ
  • Desire to grow closer together as a couple
  • Be willing to pursue what God has for your marriage

From fall through spring, groups gather monthly to build meaningful relationships, engage in purposeful discussion, and create opportunities to pray for one another.

Our desire is to create a community where couples can be known, encouraged, challenged, and discipled as they grow closer to Christ and stronger in their marriages.
