Whether you're dating, a remarriage, a couple seeking enrichment, or a couple currently experiencing difficulties, we want to provide resources you will find valuable at any stage of your marriage.
Mission Statement:
"To impact the health and vitality of marriages, inside and outside the church, for the sake of the gospel with grace and love."
Purpose:
We were created to help:
Engaged couples and newlyweds build a firm foundation on which to grow
Couples and families to grow spiritually
Good marriages get even stronger
Couples in crisis find restoration and healing
Our goal is to provide powerful resources that help strengthen the relationships of those who are dating, engaged, or married.
We offer opportunities to connect with other couples through coaching, workshops, life groups, retreats, and events that will propel you toward a lasting marriage legacy.

Crisis
When our brothers and sisters in Christ are hurting, we’re hurting. Don’t feel like you’re alone when your marriage is struggling. We want to partner with you to help you find the restoration and healing that God desires for you. If your marriage is in crisis, please reach out to our team.
Remarriage/BLENDED FAMILY
We understand that remarriages are vastly different than first marriages. That's why Newstart provides support and resources geared toward preventing re-divorce, while supporting and strengthening stepfamilies and blended families. For more information, click here.
