Training Conference Overview

Marriage ministry is not one-size-fits-all. Couples need guidance before marriage, support in the early years, and a safe place to find hope and healing when marriage gets hard. The Marriage Ministry Training Conference (formerly the Re|engage Training Conference) is a two-day experience designed to equip churches to care for couples in every season of marriage. Whether you're exploring Re|engage for the first time, strengthening an existing Re|engage ministry, or considering launching Merge or Foundation Groups, you'll find practical training to help you take your next step.

What You'll Learn

Your team will receive practical training, ministry insight, and encouragement for serving couples through three connected ministries.

Merge logo

A premarital ministry that helps seriously dating and engaged couples prepare for marriage through biblical teaching, honest conversations, and mentor-led discussion. Churches already offering Merge will get an introduction to the newly updated curriculum.

Foundation Groups logo

A newly married ministry that helps couples build Christ-centered community, grow in oneness, and establish healthy patterns during the first years of marriage. You will learn the ministry model and what leaders need to serve newlyweds well. Churches already offering Foundation Groups will get an introduction to the newly updated curriculum, launching Spring 2027.

Re|engage logo

A marriage discipleship ministry for couples looking to reconnect, grow, or find hope in the midst of struggle. You will learn the heart, structure, and weekly mechanics of the ministry, and what it takes to launch and sustain it at your church.
