Talk Appointment (1 hour)
We’re not professional counselors. We don’t promise, or even attempt, to fix problems. But we do promise to provide a safe space to listen and help you explore your feelings, as well as a path forward with God.

Couples Camp - every Spring
We know the best things are often the toughest—because nothing worth doing is easy. Marriage is both wonderful and challenging. Same with Couples Camp. Come spend two nights in a tent and find some wide open space for you both to stretch, grow and reconnect. Share a tent. Share a challenge. Share the adventure.
