MARRIAGE MINISTRY
AT NWH
OUR HEART
NWH Marriage Ministry supports couples in building Christ-centered marriage relationships. We know that having a thriving marriage is an investment that requires hard work. Allow us to come alongside you as we nurture our marriages and celebrate God’s design for lasting love.
MARRIAGE MENTORING
A casual, "come alongside," format that includes quarterly get-togethers (every other as couples, every other as genders) and ongoing support as is helpful. The mentoring couple is also a couple the mentees can reach out to when specific needs for advice or support arise.
discipleship mentoring
Conventional Mentoring is a 8-10 week, intensive program. During which mentors prompt and facilitate respectful and effective conversations between the mentee couple, teaching them simple communication techniques and challenging them with scriptures and weekly homework.
