Our marriage ministry provides practical tools for couples to build a strong, trusting marital relationship with each other and ultimately fulfill God's plan for marriage. Through our events, classes, and mentoring, we seek to create an atmosphere of freedom for husbands and wives to be transparent with one another and develop excellent communication skills. We also seek to build a support system for Christian couples to support and encouraging one another through fellowship.

Meet our ministries leaders

Tom and Holli Applegate
Married over 25 years, parents to 3 grown sons.

Spencer & Autumn Rodney
Meet the Rodney family, our our Prepare/Enrich facilitators. We have been married for 16 years. We have two children one boy, SJ, and a girl Amelia. We faced significant challenges in our fourth year of marriage and felt lost. With the divorce rate rising, God inspired us to help other couples thrive, just as a counselor helped us. We want couples to grow in their relationship with Jesus! Invest in your marriage and seek support from a godly community—it can be life-changing. We love serving God through prayer, offering encouragement, and being active in our church's
Kreng & Panya Krich
Meet the Krich's, our Prepare/Enrich facilitators, they have been married for over 25 years with two children high school and college age.


Santos & Miriam Ventura
Meet the Ventura family, our Prepare/Enrich facilitators, and we’ve been joyfully married for over 25 years. Together, we have raised 3 amazing children, 2 sons and 1 daughter, who have been our greatest blessing.
Our passion for helping couples was born out of our own journey, having both come from dysfunctional family backgrounds. Early in our marriage, we realized how much healing, guidance, and intentional effort it takes to build a strong marriage and the importance of a God centered family. Our desire is to walk alongside couples, helping them build relationships rooted in grace, truth, and lasting commitment. Whether you're just starting out or facing difficult seasons, there is always hope when God is at the center.
