About Us
Our Purpose
Purpose: Provide married couples with ongoing education and inspiration to build their marriage through Biblical principles within the Church of Saint Paul community.
Vision: Married couples grow closer to God, each other and other couples in the church.
Benefits: Members of the group receive encouragement, support, and ideas from each other as well as grow in faith, friendship and service together.
Who: Married couples at any stage whether newly married or married for many years
Small groups: 4-6 couples members from church form with like preferences as a small group and meet on a monthly basis in couple’s homes using Christian and Catholic resources to strengthen their marriages and build supportive relationships with other couples.
Our approach
While we invite each small group within the ministry to create a group approach and style that works best for that group, we have some core beliefs that we encourage all groups to:
Meet monthly as a small group
Attend a yearly retreat together as a small group
Be involved in outreach through a service project
Attend annual ministry kickoff celebration and enrichment
Plan a social outing or activity
