A one-day conference to equip individuals, couples and ministry leaders

When couples take proactive steps to seek out wisdom from other, more experienced couples, the impact on their marriages is profound. The most heeded counsel often comes through relationships with trusted mentor couples, pastors and ministry leaders, as people imitate what they see lived out. Marriage mentoring is about walking alongside another couple, providing a place for safe conversation and moving the couple forward wherever they are.
