What is marriage mentoring you ask? It is simply having a couple that has been through your stage of marriage or similiar experiences walk alongside of you to support, encourage, and point you to God's Word for advice.

Who is marriage mentoring for? It is for every couple. You can be matched with a mentor as newlyweds, new parents, for enrichment, or restoration in your marriage.

Mentors at Lighthouse are trained and equipped, they are trained on the material they will go through with mentees and take the same couple inventory mentee couples will take. We are partnering with Marriage Mentors for support, training and curriculum that mentor and mentees can go through together.

How long am I matched with a mentor? We ask that a mentee and mentor couple commit to working together for at least one year.

What ongoing support is available for mentors? Once becoming a mentor, you will be placed in a group of up to 5 mentor couples, this is your mentoring small group. A couple support coordinator will work with your small group to schedule meetings once a month. This will allow you to hear new ideas from other mentors and work through mentoring challenges.
