Marriage Investors

We believe that the local church should provide support, encouragement and a training-ground from which to build extraordinary marriages. Doing so will reverse the trends in divorce, living together outside of marriage and unhappy marriages—bringing glory to God and stability to our community.

Our vision is to see the next generation of marriages thrive and be prepared to pick up the mantle of leadership in the church and community. They will become models for generations to come and drastically reduce the divorce rate in our community through an ever-deepening relationship with Christ. Marriage Ministry recognizes that established, more mature marriages (marriage investors) can model godly character by sharing their lives and experiences with younger or recently-married couples.

Our mission is to recruit and train one mature couple for every younger couple who sees the value of such relationships. We will give both couples tools for effective personal and marital growth in their relationship with Christ, their spouse and their community.
