Turn your church’s heart for marriage into a ministry that strengthens marriages at every stage.
Every church wants couples to build marriages that last. But turning that desire into a practical, sustainable marriage ministry can feel daunting.
With The Marriage Ministry Handbook, Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott give you a clear ministry plan―whether your church is large or small, already offers couples ministry and marriage enrichment programs, or is wondering where to start.
This isn’t theory. It’s a working plan. You’ll be equipped to:
- Take stock of what you’re already doing to know where to focus next.
- Help couples prepare, repair, and maximize their relationships.
- Recruit, train, and unleash the power of marriage mentors.
- Tackle the six struggles that derail marriage ministries most often.
- Create small groups that couples can’t wait to join.
- Promote your marriage ministry and engage more couples.
- Expand your impact without expanding your staff’s workload.
- Move from good intentions to real traction with practical tools.
You’ll also get adaptable resources including templates for wedding policies, marriage ministry leader roles, date night events, and more―practical tools your church can put to work right away.
You don’t need a bigger staff, a bigger budget, or another complicated program. You just need a plan and tools that work.
