BOOK
Ready or Knot?
The wedding day is just one day in the life of a couple. But God's design is for marriage to last a lifetime. So how can someone know that the person they're with is the one they can truly build a life with - especially when so few marriages around them work? Pastor Scott Kedersha has worked with more than 5,000 premarital couples to prepare them for the biggest decision of their lives. In Ready or Knot?, he offers practical and Christ-centered guidance for couples for all of the days after the wedding day.
NEWLY MARRIEDS SMALL GROUP
Foundation Groups
The first few years of marriage are often the most difficult, but can also be the most joyous. Foundation Groups are community groups for married couples who have been married 3 years or less. 4-6 couples are placed in a group together with a more experienced mentor couple who leads them through 15 months of curriculum.
