While marriage and parenting are some of the happiest and most rewarding life experiences, they are equally intense and stressful. Evergreen wants to help your family be a success. We offer a variety of growth groups that are designed to meet the needs of various demographic groups—newly married couples, families with kids, blended families and empty nesters.
Couples will find support and encouragement as they get together with other couples to share the victories, joys and struggles of marriage and parenting. For a complete list and description of groups for couples and families, visit our growth group page.
With the many pressures and distractions of life, married couples often struggle to keep their relationship as a top priority in their lives. Just as with our cars, families require “tune ups” if they are to keep running in good order. Each year we will have either a marriage conference or a shorter version we call “marriage workshops”. We also offer parenting workshops. These half-day seminars provide practical teaching, couples’ projects and small group interaction. You might call it “preventive maintenance” for your families. Strong Godly families are our goal.
Many couples never learn what makes a marriage successful before they get married. That’s why Evergreen offers the pre-marriage seminar, “Fit to be Tied.” This ten-week seminar helps couples learn the basics of a happy, fulfilling and God-honoring marriage. Topics include communication, conflict resolution, finances, physical intimacy, expectations, husband/wife roles and parenting. (We also highly recommend this seminar to any seriously-dating couples.)
