COUPLES CONNECT: You may not have heard about Couples Connect yet, but it is the name of the Marriage Ministry at Bethel!

Mission: Provide a means for couples to connect and flourish in Christ at Bethel.

• Vision: All couples feel supported and a sense of belonging at Bethel.

• Beliefs: The family is the foundation of every community, a healthy marriage is the cornerstone of a strong family, and the ultimate lasting strength of every marriage and family is found in a relationship with Jesus Christ. [from Family Life Vision https://familylifecanada.com/about]

• Values: Marriage enrichment is a normal part of any marriage. Prioritizing your marriage is healthy. Holding a posture of humility toward learning about marriage and your spouse is beneficial.

• Objectives: Provide events that nurture couples and connections to other couples at Bethel:

• Fun

• Educational

• Entertaining

• Memorable

Activities: Host events throughout the year based on input from couples.

• Provide Alpha the Marriage Course March/April of each year.

• Cross-promote events such as Family Life Weekend Getaways and marriage events at partnering churches.
