Mission
Our mission is to provide local churches with the tools to transform existing programs of marriage preparation into wellsprings of dynamic marriage discipleship that foster both parish connection and nurture authentic accompaniment before and after the wedding day.
Program accomplishments
- Witness to love is a powerful tool helping pastors better prepare young people for marriage, as well as help renew and rebuild communities through our local churches. Founded in 2015, the Witness to Love methodology is proving to prevent divorce through solid relationships of involvement in church communities. Witness to Love incorporates accompaniment and mentoring between an engaged couple and their "chosen" mentor couple and uses the latest psychology techniques of "attachment theory" for the development of "relational virtue." In addition to the significant lowering of divorce rates for newly married couples, the program strengthens existing marriages of mentor couples and deepens both couples's connection to their churches. The results continue to be seen through conversions and increased church attendance.Expenses $703,895 · revenue $491,800
