Marriage Ministry.

About Marriage Ministry.

The Marriage Ministry at Crossroads exists to help cultivate and support Christ-Centered marriages. We believe the key to a lasting, loving relationship with your spouse is a Christ-centered marriage. Our prayer is for each couple to experience a strong, thriving marriage. We desire to help cultivate and support a growing relationship with Christ and each other.  We do this by providing weekly classes, quarterly date nights, and helpful resources.

Sunday Marriage Classes.

Our Sunday Marriage Classes are focused on helping strengthen your marriage while discovering new tools to assist in areas like communication and parenting.  Each class is a focused book study held on Sunday evening at 5pm.  Marriage studies are for couples newly married to veteran couples looking to fine-tune their marriage.  See a list of past studies in our "Resources" list below.

Date nights.

Join us for our quarterly Date Nights!  Do you still date your spouse?  Our quarterly date nights offer fun activities to connect with your spouse and other couples, with childcare as well.  Date Nights may offer dinner along with a fun activity like the Amazing Race - Scavenger Hunt, The Not So Newlywed Game, Corn Hole Tournament, or a night of bowling.

PREMARITAL and MARRIAGE COUNSELING.

A strong marriage starts before your wedding day.  Crossroads offers pre-marital counseling for engaged couples to help build a Christ-centered foundation for marriage.  Learning tools for marriage is crucial.  "Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts" by Les and Leslie Parrot is one of the resources we recommend for engaged couples.  Contact Pastor Sean Peters to schedule counseling.
