About Us
We are a Christian marriage ministry dedicated to building relationships. We desire to see couples build close growing relationships with God and each other. We believe that once a couple knows who they are, discover their purpose and mission in life and build foundational skills for marriage, they will better be able to meet the challenges of life as a team.
To be used by God to fortify marriages. To make a difference in lives, marriages and families.
To see marriages become healthy, productive, able to withstand the storms of life and used by God to strengthen other marriages.
To provide direction and education through resources and training to individuals, couples and churches in order to help them define and build a solid foundation for a Christian marriage.
 
Statement of Faith
1. We believe that the enitre Bible is the inspired, authoritative, inerrant
    Word of God on which Christians base their faith, conduct and doctrine.
    (2 Timothy 3:16)
2. We believe that there is only one God eternally existing in three persons;
    Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (1 Cor 8:6, Matt 1:23, John 15:16)
3. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; He came to earth, was
    born of a virgin, died on a cross, bodily rose from the dead, ascended
    into Heaven and will return again. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and
    the Life. No one comes to the Father execpt through Him. (Matt 14:33,
    John 1:1, John 1:14, Luke 1:26-37, Phil 2:8, Acts 10:41, Acts 1:9-11,
    John 14:16)
4. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling,
    the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. (John 16:7-11)
5. We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
    (Rom 3:23), the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
    through Jesus Christ (Rom 6:23), that if one confesses Jesus is Lord and
    believes in Him, he will be saved. (Rom 10:9, John 3:16)
6. We believe that the Body of Christ; believers in Jesus, is the Church of
    Jesus Christ (1 Cor 12:27) and through the Church believers are built up
    and prepared for service. (Eph 4:11-13)
7. We believe God's plan for marriage is given in Scirpture and is the basis
    for a Christian marriage. (Gen 2:18-24, 1Cor 7, Eph 5)

2.  The covenant of marraige is a life long commitment. (Mark 10:9)

4.  Marriage consists of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24,
     Matt 19:5)
5.  Husband and wife are created by God equal in worth, but with differing
     roles and responsibilities in marriage. (Gal 3:28, 1Pet 3:7, Gen 2:18,
     Eph 4:22-33, 1Cor 11:11-12)
6.  Marriage must be strengthened to stand against the storms that will
     come against it. (John 16:33, Eccl 4:9-12)
7.  A strong marriage doesn't just "happen", it takes work. (1Cor 15:10)
8.  God hates divorce and divorce is not an option in a Chrstian marriage,
     although separation may be necessary with the purpose to restore the
     marital relationship. (Mal 2:16, 1Cor 7:10-11)
9.  No marriage is beyond repair is a couple will surrender to Jesus Christ
     and allow Him to work in their lives and marriage. (Phil 4:13, Jas 4:7-8)

      life. (Ecc 4:13, Amos 3:3, Prov 31:10-31)

      and society. Strong marriages are necessary to the welfare of all three
      institutions. (Mal 2:15)

      Christians and that our ministry is to be in support of the local church.
