It’s no secret how challenging it can be to “love your wife as Christ loved the church” or to “submit to your husband as to the Lord” (two commands directly from the Bible). And the challenge doesn’t get any easier when you add a God-given responsibility to disciple your children in Christ. Growing marriages and families are downright hard to establish and maintain. God certainly has established lofty ideals for marriages and families.
We’re here to help! We’re here to reinforce your commitments to your spouse, your children, and ultimately to your creator. We want to encourage you and equip you to be the follower of Jesus you’re made to be.
The best way to get started in the Young Marrieds and Families Ministry is to join a Young Marrieds or Young Families ABF. These are groups of people in the same life stage as you who study God's Word together, serve together, and have fun together. There are several ABFs to choose from. Take a look at the lists below.
We also occasionally have events just for young marrieds and families. When we do, we'll list them here.
