Marriage
Marriage Ministry
Strong marriages endure.We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant between a husband and a wife in which they pledge themselves to one another in the presence of God. Within the marriage ministry at Colonial Presbyterian church, all programs, curriculums and leaders will support these established principles:
- Submission to Christ is the goal. Oneness in marriage will be the result of two lives fully submitted to Christ
- God must be the center of all marriages.
- All marriages can be improved.
- No marriage is beyond redemption.
- We will maintain a balance of truth and grace.
- In all marriages, both partners are sinners and sufferers. And as such, we receive God’s forgiveness and are called to forgive each other. We recognize that forgiveness is a process.

Premarital Marriage Mentorship
If you are preparing for marriage, we can help you build a strong foundation. After taking an online inventory, couples are paired with a mentor couple who will help them process through their strengths and their growth areas as a couple. Topics like communication, conflict resolution, financial management, marriage expectations, couple and family maps, and more are talked through. For more information about Pre-Marital Marriage Mentorship contact Pastor Tami Lundgren at 815-501-3939.
