Foundation Groups

The healthiest marriages do not exist in isolation

The first few years of marriage are often the most difficult, but can also be the most joyous. Foundation Groups are community groups for married couples who have been married 3 years or less. 4-6 couples are placed in a group together with a more experienced mentor couple who leads them through 15 months of curriculum. As the couples establish a solid foundation for their marriage (Matthew 7:24-27), we hope they become more like Jesus, experience healthy community, grow in oneness with their spouse, and learn to live on mission with their life and marriage.

WHY SHOULD YOU START FOUNDATION GROUPS AT YOUR CHURCH?

  1. Foundation Groups provide your church an opportunity to be proactive rather than reactive. Offering counsel and biblical truth in the earliest stages of marriage provides the necessary groundwork for the years to come.

  2. Foundation Groups offer newlyweds a biblical view of marriage. Curriculum grounded in God's Word allows couples to better understand God's intent for the covenantal relationship of marriage.

  3. Foundation Groups impact more than just the new marriages in your church. The domino effect is evident as those in healthy marriages counsel others, raise children, and build up the body of Christ.

  4. Foundation Groups are an intentional investment in the future of the church. Couples cultivating oneness with one another and with Christ have the greatest chance for long lasting marriages. These marriages then impact the church's strength, unity, and effectiveness for the cause of Christ.

Foundation Groups offer hope to new marriages

"Most importantly, we want you to hear God's design for marriage. We all know couples who are struggling and married couples who get divorced, so we want you to hear God's design for the most significant human relationship on this planet."

"Foundation Groups provide a unique and truly incredible experience. You get to intentionally walk through all the struggles and joys of marriage alongside other couples who are for you and fighting with you. Foundation Groups is more than just wives meeting together. It is families meeting together. It is simply the sweetest gift to have a couple far more advanced in their life, marriage, and spiritual journey willfully invest in us."

"The positive influences of Foundation Groups among our newlyweds cannot be overstated. Our mentor couples regularly share powerful stories resulting from newlywed couples opening up their lives to each other, in-depth studies using the outstanding curriculum, and permanent friendships born within the groups. We believe Foundation Groups are pivotal in building strong, Jesus-centered marriages and homes for the future!"
