Couples Ministry
Couples Ministry is designed to give the couples of our church the chance to meet and fellowship with fellow believers. We need to minister to each other and lift each other up outside of the church. We realize that is not easy if you do not know each other. This ministry plans events for all couples to get to know other couples, to build relationships that can be taken out of the church and still stand strong in the bond of Christianity. We would like to express the importance of knowing that "Couples" does not exclude anyone for age. If you are a married couple, no matter your age, you are encouraged to come to any and all events that are planned throughout the year.
