E5 is our Marriage Ministry based on Ephesians 5:21-33.

 

We know that about 50% of all marriages end in divorce, but we must also wonder how many more marriages are not strong and healthy as God desires? God has given us the formula for marriage in His Word (the Bible). Specifically in Ephesians 5

  

Our desire is to strengthen, encourage, and equip men and women to have strong and healthy marriages as God desires. We hope to accomplish this by offering:

    *Marriage Mentors

    *Seminars

    *Studies

    *Date Nights

    *and MORE!
