Sponsor Couple Ministry

Goal / Mission of Ministry:

The goal of the Sponsor Couple program is to  provide couple-to-couple approach to marriage preparation. The same way that an older more experienced employee becomes a mentor to a new employee, the sponsor couple becomes a mentor for the engaged couple. The engaged couple preparing for marriage meets with the sponsor couple for a series of five evenings in the home of the sponsor couple.  During these evenings, the sponsor couple can share, encourage and support the engaged couple in their quest for a Christian marriage.
