For over 40 years, we have sought to create a marriage that ministers. Of course, we have not always been successful, but our goal is to glorify God in all we do.

It is a daunting task that God has given us to be a portrait of Christ and His bride, the church. How are you doing with that? It's a great mystery that we have tried to solve for decades!

Marriages that Minister will challenge you to think differently about your marriage. We are not talking about what can be accomplished by human effort. It is an invitation for you to participate in what is humanly impossible yet divinely possible.

Join us as we together weave to create a masterpiece marriage.
