The Grove is a community for married couples in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Most of us have younger children.

Join us as we form friendships and pursue Christ together. Let's get together and support each other as we face all the challenges that come with this stage of life.

We meet on the fourth Sunday of each month from 3:30pm-5:00pm. Childcare 0-11 years is available with preregistration. Follow the links below to sign up for each of the gatherings.

Every couple has times in their marriage when they could use some support. Sometimes it's an issue that produces conflict in the marriage. Sometimes it's simply a desire to grow closer to each other and to Christ.

LCC Marriage Ministries provides support through:
• Marriage Mentoring - walking alongside another couple for one year of encouragement, enrichment, or restoration. See the dropdown on this webpage.
• Marriage Counseling - meeting with a pastor or with a local marriage and family counselor. Learn more about pastoral counseling at LCC.
• Pure Desire - support and guidance for both men and women who struggle with (or whose spouses struggle with) sexual addiction and pornography. Learn more about Pure Desire at LCC.

For more info, contact the LCC office.

Congratulations on your engagement!

Preparation for marriage is more than planning for the ceremony. Marriage preparation must also include a commitment to spiritual and relational development. With intentional preparation for your marriage as well as your wedding ceremony, our prayer is that you will experience a satisfying, vibrant, and loving marriage that brings glory to God.

Start by taking these steps to arrive at your wedding day:

• Contact the LCC office or email marriage@lighthousehome.org.
• Submit a completed Premarital His and Hers Forms to the LCC office.
• Attend a preliminary conference with a pastor.
• After meeting with a pastor, set a wedding date and reserve a space at LCC.
• Go through premarital counseling using a Lighthouse-approved curriculum such as I Promise.
• Meet with the wedding coordinator.
• Sign the wedding contract.
• Host rehearsal.
• Enjoy your wedding day!
• Continue to enrich your relationship through marriage mentoring, classes, events, and resources.
