Marriage

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.

— Proverbs 18:22

Announcements

Let us know if you or a loved one has been recently married so that our church family can rejoice with you

If you haven’t yet heard, College Church is starting a new marriage discipleship ministry. It’s different from anything we’ve ever done before, and we’re excited to launch this ministry with a new rhythm of four Saturday morning sessions (the dates are 9/23, 11/11, 2/10 and 4/20) as we go through the Grace Marriage curriculum. Learn more about the curriculum here.

We know that cultivating strong marriages built on intentionality and grace point to the gospel and God’s love for the church as his bride, and that’s why we are investing in this ministry and our church’s marriages. Watch this video as it paints the picture for why we are doing this.

Each session will be from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. (with couples encouraged to have a lunch date afterwards, if possible) and the registration fee is $179 per couple for the year. Financial aid is available to pay for the registration fee and/or babysitting to ensure neither prevents anyone from participating.

Becoming One

We believe in the importance of setting a biblical foundation for marriage. Becoming One is a class for engaged, soon-to-be-engaged and newly married couples. Topics included are a gospel-centered marriage, roles in marriage, communication and conflict, intimacy, and a panel discussion with Q&A (including topics of finances, relationships, expectations and more).

Information about the next season of Becoming One will be posted at a later date.
