MARRIAGE MINISTRY
Marriage is God’s idea—a reflection of His love and plan for us. But let’s be real: life gets busy, and it’s easy to drift apart. Work, stress, kids, and unspoken frustrations can quietly create distance. The stressors of life can also steal the joy from our marriage. The good news? You can shift the drift and continue to prevent it from happening.
Movement Church is excited to partner with Grace Marriage, a Christ-centered ministry designed to help couples reconnect, communicate better, and strengthen their relationship through intentional investment. No matter your age or how many years you’ve been married, there’s always room to grow in deeper levels of connection. You’ll grow in your marriage, talk together and walk alongside other couples doing the same thing.
