COVENANT MARRIAGE MINISTRY
THERE IS MORE FOR YOUR MARRIAGE
We have a passion for seeing marriages reach further, connect more, grow deeper and serve greater. We believe in God’s plan for covenant marriage and seek to train couples to apply biblical knowledge to their relationship. The ministry is designed to offer community for healthy marriages and help for the hurting. There is a place for everyone!
What does it mean to reach further?
The marriage relationship is uniquely positioned to reflect the heart of Christ. Your show of respect and love is watched by family, friends, and even strangers. When marriage reveals the character of God, others will be reached. Spend time praying for the Lord to ready your marriage for kingdom work and wait expectantly!
What does it mean to connect more?
A strong connection as a couple isn’t primarily a feeling. It’s a bond that increases as we employ godly habits and seek to live out God’s purpose for our marriage. As we forge a deeper connection by spending time together, we strengthen a bond that God will use both in our lives and in the lives of others.
What does it mean to grow deeper?
The healthiest marriages seek to grow deeper in relationship with God and each other. Too many couples wait until their marriage is struggling to prioritize personal and relationship growth. The truth is, we can always improve our communication skills, connect on a deeper level, and learn more about each other.
What does it mean to serve greater?
Serving your spouse requires humility, patience, and a desire for unity. Between chores, kids, and work, it’s easy to forget marriage is our first and most important ministry. In serving one another, we’re moving toward the mutual respect and submission God wants for our marriages.
Marriage exists most ultimately to display the covenant-keeping love between Christ and his church.
Ephesians 5:21-33
Biblically, marriage is intended to be a mirror of Christ and the church. The belief that marriage is a lifelong journey intended to make couples holy and mature is a foundational principle of the ministry. First and foremost, we seek to cultivate right relationships with God. Great marriages then become the overflow.

Marriage Date Nights
God wants you to have fun in your marriage! In fact, there’s no stronger marriage than one built on faith in Christ and friendship between spouses. We encourage every couple to prioritize quality time with their spouse by incorporating regular date nights. As a ministry, we take great pleasure in hosting memorable evenings for you and your spouse to enjoy. Be sure to join us for our next Date Night event!
Marriage Classes
These classes are designed to help equip participants with biblical truth, lasting encouragement, and couple connection. We share video content from world class speakers on topics ranging from conflict resolution, the meaning of marriage, finances and more. This is a relaxed atmosphere where you can easily connect and share with other couples. Classes are hosted in four week cycles on Wednesday evenings. Currently, we are offering classes twice a year in the summer and winter months.
Marriage Small Groups
Community is essential to keeping a marriage strong, particularly when it is being tested. That’s why we encourage regularly connecting through Small Groups. You will meet biweekly in homes to cultivate deep relationships and spiritual growth. Married Small Groups are currently offered in the Spring and Fall semesters.
