Home › For Churches
We would be delighted to bring Connecting Matters to your church. From date nights and weekend retreats to talks, workshops and training for leader couples, we help churches create space for married couples to pause, reflect and reconnect.
Book a Marriage Event
For churches
Marriage is a relationship of deep value, yet the pressures and demands of daily life can leave couples feeling disconnected or stretched thin. Our events are not aimed at solving marriage problems, but at creating space for couples to recognise their strengths and give thoughtful attention to areas that may benefit from care and conversation.
Christian beliefs and principles inform our spirituality and are our core values, and people of all faiths are welcome. Sessions are experiential rather than lectures. No one is asked to share anything private or to work on their marriage in front of other couples.
Experiential sessions, not lectures
Nothing private shared in front of others
People of all faiths welcome
Tailored to your congregation
What we offer
Every church is different, so we tailor each event to the needs of your congregation.
Date nights, weekend retreats, a one-day taster or a time-limited small group, held at your venue.
Communication, anger and conflict, family backgrounds, sexuality and spirituality, and specialised topics such as crisis, trauma and grief.
Presentations that explore the practical and spiritual sides of the couple relationship, for church gatherings and groups.
Training for marriage facilitators in group skills and adult education principles, so your own couples can lead marriage enrichment events.
Workshops centred on couple relationships for counsellors and others who walk alongside couples.
Sessions designed around the specific needs of your church, group or organisation.
“This was the most deep and practical retreat we have ever attended. I love your modelling to us the conversations. Honest and professional at the same time. A gift from God. Thank you so much.”
How it works
We do not charge a fee for our services. The host church covers the costs of running the event, including our travel, accommodation and printed materials.
