“A ministry of long-term, personal engagement for the spiritual growth of young marrieds.”
This is the newest branch of the Marriage Plus Ministry.
We believe it is important for young couples to be able to enjoy and experience three different types of community if possible: the larger church body, a mid-size group of 35-40 couples and a small discipleship or accountability group of 4-6 couples.
With the rebirth of small groups as a major focus in churches today, there are fewer churches that provide a mid-size kind of community for young couples. We think this size group is so motivating and so important that, with God’s help and lots of prayer, we are providing twice-a-month meetings for couples who would like to experience the benefits of this kind of community.
In this multi-church, fellowship group, couples will learn more about loving and serving each other. Any small groups that they attend would be able to meet the other two weeks of the month. Couples will also learn and grow in their walk with Christ, in their marriage and in their desire and ability to serve the Lord together. All of this takes place alongside a few special mentors and a group of other young couples, some of whom may become their lifelong friends.
We look forward to the possibility of meeting you and sharing life and ministry alongside great young couples like you!
- If you, as a couple, are interested in participating in SPLITS (Spiritual Leaders in Training) evenings twice a month or the one year long Marriage Plus course, but you have questions. We can give you information about when and where we meet for SPLITS and when new Marriage Plus groups will begin.
- If you think SPLITS or the Marriage Plus course would benefit young couples at your church, and ultimately your church body.
- If you are involved in preparing and sending missionaries or you are helping those who are returning from overseas, the Marriage Plus course will equip them to deal with the many stresses of living and serving cross-culturally.
- If you are from another country and would like to talk about using the Marriage Plus materials where you are.
