At Fairhaven, we believe that marriage is more than a ceremony; it’s a life-long commitment. Our Marriage Ministry wants to come alongside each couple from the beginning and throughout their marriage. We are committed to encouraging strong, healthy, fulfilling marriages founded on biblical principles.
EVENTS
Married Couples Night
We want to help build solid foundations to empower spiritually strong marriages, especially for young couples. These special nights are filled with fun games, light refreshments, and impactful truths to help strengthen your marriage, particularly in the early years. At Married Couple Nights, you will meet other couples and have the opportunity to continue conversations in a small group setting. Check the app and the Adult Ministries page for more details.
