Marriage Strengthening Resources

Build and Improve Your Marriage with The Marriage Course

Your marriage is the most important possession of your physical life.  It can bring great joy and peace and help pass on a legacy of joy to children and children's children. 

We can help you build your marriage into the powerful union of joy and strength that God intended.

The Alpha Marriage Course is one way that we help married couples build strength and joy into their relationships.  Not just for marriages in trouble, this course will be helpful for every marriage.  This eight week course is designed to systematically guide couples through some of the biggest issues of married life, and then give them tools to break through to higher levels of relationship.  There is no group sharing of personal details; instead, during exercises husbands and wives will privately talk through the issues.

Call Reuben or Kristin Holland at 279-9995  for additional information or see our calendar page on this course.  Our next course begins on Monday evening, September 22rd at 7:00 PM sharp (please arrive early to register, take care of children and find your seat).  The class is eight weeks long and costs $37.50 per person.  Childcare, including a snack, is provided by the church.  Donations are appreciated.

Pre-registration and payment are required:

Get ready for a long, happy life with the skills you will need for a lifetime together.Prepare for a strong, happy marriage with The Marriage Preparation Course

With every second marriage ending in divorce, couples planning to marry need to start life together with good tools to build a strong relationship that lasts a lifetime.  We offer the Alpha Marriage Preparation Course to help engaged couples go into marriage with a strong sense of how to make it work, even when the going gets tough.

The six-week course offers dinner with other engaged couples, class sessions, exercises for the couple to complete during class, and an inventory (FOCCUS) designed to help you find those areas where additional discussion is needed between the two of you.

Here's what one couple had to say about the course:

Our next course is planned for Spring 2009.
