Marriage & Family

Grace is a church of small groups - including ones with a heart and focus on marriage and family! We believe successful families are built in community! Find marriage and family-focused small groups at our online Small Groups Directory.  Under "Group Attributes" select "Marriage/Parenting"

Our Premarital Mentorship program helps couples prepare for a strong, healthy, Christ-centered marriage. Required for anyone planning to be married at Grace or by a Grace pastor, the program provides insight into areas of strength as well as potential conflict and encourages couples to grow together before marriage. We believe in being marriage builders, so couples are asked thoughtful, sometimes challenging questions and are expected to come ready to engage and grow. This is not a “box to check”—it’s a journey toward a resilient, lasting partnership.

Do you know your family's core values? What do you stand for individually and together? Are everyone's values shown in what your family says yes or no to? Use our Family Core Values Exercise over the course of several family meetings to discover your values and set intention pursue them together, and protect them with boundaries.
