We are excited to invite married couples to join us for our upcoming Marriage Conference on May 29–31, 2026, Choosing Redemption.

Marriage is not sustained by emotion alone—it is strengthened through daily choices. In a culture that often promotes self-fulfillment over covenant faithfulness, we want to call couples back to the beauty of redemption: choosing grace over resentment, forgiveness over pride, pursuit over distance, and covenant over convenience.

Our heart is to host a weekend that serves as both a discipleship intensive and a meaningful marriage reset—a time for couples to step away from distractions, sit under the Word, and allow the Lord to renew their vision, affection, and spiritual unity.

Who Is This For?
This conference is designed for married couples at any stage of marriage—newly married, seasoned, or walking through challenges. Childcare will not be provided, so we encourage couples to plan accordingly.

Why Attend?
We believe this weekend will bless couples by:

  • Strengthening biblical foundations in marriage
  • Renewing hope for couples who feel weary or disconnected
  • Encouraging healthy, Christ-centered communication
  • Rekindling spiritual and emotional intimacy
  • Reminding couples that redemption is not only something God gives us—it’s something we choose to extend to one another daily

When marriages are strengthened, families are strengthened. When families are strengthened, churches are strengthened.

"Plays On Word" Theater
by Pastor Fred Kenney Jr.

On Saturday evening we will have a special live performance by Pastor Fred Kenney Jr. from "Plays On Word" performing the show "Pete."

A dramatic narration of the life of Peter, a first century fisherman, who, after encountering Jesus, becomes a leader of the band of believers that would change the world.
 
A narrative of both transformation and repentance, we watch as one man moves from fisherman to FISHER of MEN. Through a lifelong journey with Jesus Christ, an unlikely hero is born.

"...the one man production “PETE”, by the engaging Fred Kenney of “Plays On Word”, is amping up many a heart to get back in the Bible. Truly an inspiring fresh look at Peter!  Well done!!! Very moving..." — Pastor Lloyd Pulley, Senior Pastor, Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ

We’ve created a collection of trusted resources for husbands, wives, parenting, communication, and biblical manhood and womanhood to help encourage and equip you in every season of life.
