"Best Friends" Marriage Discipleship
We offer a 26-week discipleship class for married couples that involves weekly meetings in a group setting with other couples, reading and study assignments and "dates" written into the curriculum. It is our hope that this class will be a tool to help couples please God in their marriages. Other shorter-term couples groups are offered as well to help couples strengthen their marriages.
Marriage Enrichment Activities
A variety of activities are provided to help couples strengthen their marriages. These include couples groups, occasional marriage conferences and special "nights out" for couples such as a barn party. Teaching on healthy marriage relationships is provided through Adult Education Fellowships (AEFs) and other classes.
Marriage Mentoring Ministry
Couples seeking to strengthen their marital and family relationships are matched with a trained lay couple. They will be guided through educational materials, and their mentors will serve as a resource for questions and a model of a Christian marriage.
Premarital Guidance Ministry
This ministry is designed to prepare couples for the covenant bond of marriage. A pastor or trained lay couple will meet with the couple to guide them through the study of materials that address issues identified as having an impact on the marital relationship. All couples seeking to be married by a Hershey Free Church pastor must participate in this ministry..
