Marriage Ministry Opportunities

Below are short summaries of many of the marriage ministry opportunities available through First Pres.  If you would like more information on an individual event or program, contact Bill Maier at 884-6118 or bmaier@first-pres.org.

Marriage Mentoring (Year-round): Provides an opportunity for couples who are newlyweds, those wanting to improve, or those struggling in their marriages to have a more seasoned, experienced couple come along side to share their marriage stories so the younger couple can benefit from these experiences.  The mentors are not counselors, but simply friends. 

Marriage Mentor Training: An opportunity for couples desiring to mentor other couples.  You will experience a day of fun and interactive training tips, gaining skills to help couples work through the challenges most married couples face.

Annual Marriage Retreat:  Join us as we head up to the YMCA of the Rockies Camp at Estes Park on Feb. 12-13, 2011.  More details to come.

Marriage Course:  Wednesday evenings, Sept. 15 - Nov. 17.  This 10 week course will be facilitated by Randy Eims.  Couples will watch a video and discuss the topic between themselves.  Cost is $80 per couple which includes workbooks and dessert.  Call 884-6144 to register.

Engaged Couples Workshop:  Tuesday evenings, Sept. 28-Oct. 26.  This is for couples who are planning to marry before or around April 2011.  Topics include lessons learned from your original family; tools for better communication and conflict resolution; learning to love and forgive more freely and fully in your marriage.  Cost is $50 per couple which includes an online survey and workbooks.  Call 884-6144 to register.
