There are three major emphases to our marriage ministry programs at The Rock and they are:  

Prepare – Helping engaged and newlywed couples begin to build a strong foundation for their marriage.  We use the Prepare/Enrich program which is based on a set of five inventories that examine relationship issues a couple may experience.  The inventories must be administered by a trained Prepare/Enrich mentor and include 4-6 feedback sessions in which the mentors facilitate discussions based on the couples inventory results.

Enrich – Deepening and enriching marriages that are stable. We offer mentors and have classes with different curricula scheduled each semester for enriching marriages in the areas of finances, parenting, communication, and support.  We also host an annual marriage retreat where couples can learn tools to improve their marriage, have some time away (just the two of them), meet other couples at church for support, and receive personal prayer.

Repair – Encouraging couples that are in distress.  We can help with referrals or mentors for couples who are dealing with addictions, infidelity, infertility, and loss.

“We feel so blessed to have a mentor couple, and most of all, to have them as friends. We’ll never be able to thank them enough for all that they’ve done.”

“Our mentor couple was warm and caring, which made it comfortable for us to share and learn more about ourselves.”

“We learned some very essential communication techniques that have significantly improved our relationship. We would recommend marriage mentoring to any couple whether they are engaged or newly married.”
