The Art of Marriage Conference will be February 3 & 4, 2012 at Eastview Christian Church.
Mission:
As the focal point for marriage related activities at Eastview Christian Church, our ultimate purpose is to glorify God by promoting His design for marriage. We support and encourage the couples at Eastview through every life stage of a marriage by providing opportunities for them to grow together and grow closer in God.
Mentoring:
Marriage is hard work and well worth the effort. Success in marriage often takes support and encouragement from others. We have mentor couples who desire to walk along side couples who desire to strengthen their marriage. If you’re interested in developing a mentoring relationship with a mentor couple, please contact the Marriage Ministry team. ECCMarriageMinistry@gmail.com
Mentor couples work to provide quality marriage preparation to couples using the Prepare-Enrich assessment tool. If you are pre-engaged or engaged to be married and are interested in preparing for the marriage beyond your wedding, please contact Sara Thompson at 451-5057 and ask about our pre-marital program.
If you are interested in becoming a marriage mentor please contact Sara Thompson sthompson@eastviewcc.org for an application and more information.
Small Groups/Classes:
Classes are offered periodically throughout the year. Some examples of classes we’ve hosted in the past include, “iMarriage, ” Raising Godly Kids, Love and Respect, and For Men Only/For Women Only. We host classes at the church, but are also available to bring classes to your small group. Please contact the team if you are interested in partnering with us for your small group.
