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.
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality for Couples
The Marriage ministry at New Life North is hosting a couples discipleship course using the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality materials. This course is excellent in offering practical skills for solidifying our relationship with God and others, by growing in emotional and spiritual health. All the skills are built on a foundation of faith in Christ and what his Word says. If you and your spouse are interested in going deeper in relationship with God and each other while building healthy community with other couples, join us. Lets start off 2025 with healthy priorities and rhythms.
When: Tuesdays, January 21 through April 1 | 6:30 p.m.
