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, and fulfilling marriages that are founded on Biblical principles. We offer SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before it Starts) as a tool and curriculum for pre-marital relationships, and for those who are already married and want to enhance their relationship. Marriage Ministry also offers Marriage Checkups during the year for couples.
You can pray with a member of our prayer team after every worship service on all of our campuses. If you or your family desire an extended, more private and deeper time of prayer, an appointment can be made with one of our prayer team members by completing this form.
A Stephen Minister can meet with you -privately and confidentially- on a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, support and remind you of Christ’s presence in your life.

The next Stephen Ministry training will begin in September 2021.
