We believe marriage is a gift from God between a man and a woman 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.'”
As a married couple, we suggest your closest neighbor is your spouse. New Life Church’s Marriage Ministry offers monthly gatherings, discipleship courses, small groups, pastoral counseling and more to help support you in loving your spouse through every season of your relationship.

Marriage Support
Asking for help takes courage, and there is no shame in being honest with where your marriage is and seeking support. We are excited for the health and joy God has in store for you. Our pastoral team is ready to come alongside you and your spouse in support and prayer.
Premarital Coaching
Premarital coaching at New Life intentionally prepares engaged or dating couples for a life-long relationship and genuine friendship with their future 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.
All premarital-coaching sessions occur in-person only and ideally begin six to eight months prior to a wedding date.
Monthly Couples Night Out
Join us for Couples Night Out—an evening to connect, have fun, and build friendships! On the second Tuesday of each month, we’ll explore Five Rhythms for a Christ-centered marriage. Come grow together and enjoy community with other couples! Kids’ Ministry is available upon registration for children birth through 4th grade. Please email kids@newlifechurch.org to ask about 5th and 6th grade children.
