Marriage Ministries - Resources
"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Coaching/ Mentoring
If you and your spouse or fiance feel you could benefit from coaching, reach out to any member of the Marriage Team or the Newstart Staff. You will be paired with a trained coaching couple who will lovingly walk beside you as you learn new skills and habits that will serve your marriage for a lifetime.
Small Groups Available
Blended and Blessed – We understand that remarriages are vastly different than first marriages. That's why we formed this group geared toward preventing re-divorce, while supporting and strengthening stepfamilies and blended families. For more information, contact Kristin Engler.
