Married Couples Ministry
Is this for you?
Open to All Married Couples in the Oakey Grove family and community, including strong and stable couples, couples in crisis, couples ready to support and mentor other couples, and couples in need of solid models for healthy marriages.
Purpose:
To provide an environment where married couples can share, learn, and grow as they focus together on God’s divine plan for a committed, loving, and fruitful marriage.
Approach:
Small group settings with prayer, guided discussion, and fellowship. Ideally, couples are paired with other couples based on age and duration of marriage (older couples paired with younger couples). The intent is to establish a sense of connection and accountability as well as build trust and open lines of communication between those that have “been there, done that” and those who might just be getting started or just struggling. Prayerfully, by establishing trusting relationships between married couples, the stage will be set to strengthen, encourage, and empower your marriage in order to build stronger homes and a stronger church. So that together you may pursue the call and purpose of God in your lives.
