A Marriage Conference About Choosing Each Other—On Purpose

Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts, and like anything valuable, it requires intentional choice.

This Marriage Conference is designed to help couples pause, reconnect, and realign their relationship with Christ at the center. Through biblical teaching, meaningful conversations, and shared experiences, couples will be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to choose unity, communication, grace, and mission—again and again.

Whether you’ve been married for decades or are newly engaged, this conference creates space to slow down, invest intentionally, and say with clarity and conviction:

I choose us.
