Marriage Resources

At Immanuel we believe your marriage is a sacred commitment between you, your spouse and God and He wants your relationship to thrive.  Your marriage can be so much more than you can ever imagine.  Below are several resources to help you and your spouse get started down the path to a thriving marriage.

  • Pastoral care

    When a marriage is hitting a bump in the road or a dead end altogether, a great place to begin to figure out next steps is under a pastor's care and advice. We would love nothing more than to come alongside you and your spouse and assist in getting you back on the right track. You are not alone in this; we are here for you.

    All information is kept extremely confidential.
