Here at New Life Church, we believe marriage is a gift from God between a man and a women who are equally yoked. It is a holy and sacred covenant of two becoming one which is instant and also a lifetime of unifying.
Matthew 22:36-39 says, “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
So who is your closest neighbor? As a married couple, we suggest your nearest neighbor is your spouse.
The Marriage Ministry is here to support you in loving your closest neighbor through every season of marriage through monthly gatherings, discipleship courses, small groups, and pastoral counseling available to you through the church.
Are you looking for a community to plug into with your spouse? Check the list of Marriage Small Groups hosted each week.

Are you engaged or dating with intent to marry? If so, premarital coaching may be just the resource for you!
Premarital coaching at New Life is an excellent way to prepare intentionally for a life-long relationship and for genuine friendship with your spouse. Premarital sessions with a pastor or mentor couple will position you to hear from God regarding your future, learn new tools for effective communication, and build a strong bond with your partner.
Build your marriage on a strong, godly foundation by requesting premarital coaching today.
Please note that all premarital-coaching sessions occur in-person only and ideally begin six to eight months prior to wedding date.
