Marriage & Parenting

"Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another."
- Romans 12:15

At All Saints, we are blessed to have as a part of our church body those in all seasons of life. From childhood to older adulthood, married, single, soon-to-be-married, widowed, parents, grandparents, and everything in between! In every season, it is a comfort to walk alongside those who are in the same place, led by those who have been there. And in some seasons, it can be particularly helpful to have structured support and shepherding. To that end, we offer several ministries that do just that. Find out more about them below:

Re|engage Marriage Ministry

The next Re|Engage class begins Tuesday, January 14.

Whether your marriage is good and you want it to be great, or you are at rock-bottom and wonder if there is hope, re|engage is a safe place to grow in your marriage. Each week, you will hear from couples whose marriages have been transformed, learn practical ways to grow in oneness with your spouse, and gain insight from others in a small group setting as you walk through the 14 lessons.

Meeting Times: Tuesdays, 6:45 - 8:30 PM

Merge Pre-Marriage Ministry

The next class begins Sunday, January 26.

Merge is a premarital ministry designed for engaged and seriously dating couples. This program will help you deepen your understanding of your spouse-to-be in a safe, fun, and authentic environment. You’ll also benefit from wisdom and advice from mentor couples on a wide range of topics addressing common questions and challenges from a biblical perspective. Class dynamics include: small group teaching with All Saints staff and mature couples from our congregation, small group discussion with mentors, and weekly homework.

Meeting Times: Sundays, 7:00 - 8:30 PM
Leaders: Lisa & Chris Hugman, Jenny & Bruce Gregory

Square One First-Time Moms

The next class begins Thursday, February 6.

There’s a first time for everything! SquareOne is an 8-week course designed to help you navigate motherhood with other first-time moms. Connect not only with other first-time moms, but also with women who’ve done it before!

The next Parenting on Purpose class begins Thursday, January 16.

Parenting On Purpose (POP) is an 8-week course taught by our pastors and lay leaders, with mentor couples as small group discussion leaders, supplemental resources, and suggested action steps between meetings. POP is designed for parents in all stages to help you discover God’s heart for your parenting and to develop ways for you to disciple your kids intentionally and biblically.
