God's Design of Marriage
We believe in the power of marriage and God’s design for a male and a female to come together as one.
The oneness of marriage is a beautiful reflection of the gospel of Jesus Christ, so we realize that this is bigger than just the happiness of two individuals.

Stories of Hope : Jose & Yaneli Alvarado
Jose – "I initially rated our marriage at a 6, but the truth is, it was closer to a 4. Today I confidently say we are at an 8. Not because we are perfect but because we are learning to build on God’s grace not our own efforts. I have come to embrace my role as a spiritual leader of our home not as a position of control but a call to lead with humility, love and self-sacrifice.”
Yanelli – "This journey has not been easy, but it’s been worth it. By aligning ourselves with God’s Word and embracing the roles he has give us, we have experienced real lasting change. We know the road ahead won’t be perfect but with God at the center we are walking it with renewed hope and strength.”
Watch how the Lord worked in Jose and Yaneli's marriage through Re|Engage.
