In 2024, The Barna Group, a Christian research organization providing data and insight on the trends affecting faith and ministry, released a study on the prevalence of pornography in the current digital age. Pornography is something we rarely talk about at church but we can definitely see its negative impact in our culture today. More often than not, the calls to "just stop" and "try harder" are not working.

In spite of all the statistics, things are far from hopeless. Please join us as we hear from Julie Slattery and the Pure Desire team regarding these recent statistics as well as some common misconceptions about pornography often held by those in the church.

This event is appropriate for all adults 18+. 

6:30pm-8:00pm on Wednesday, April 9
Meets in Room 321 (Building 2)

Make plans to join us as we share good food, play some games, and grow in our relationships with one another and with Jesus.

We are all married and in our 20's/30's. Most of us have young kids. Let's get together and support each other as we face all the challenges that come with this stage of life.

We meet once a month on a Friday from 7:00pm-8:30pm. No childcare provided for this event.

Every couple has times in their marriage when they could use some support. Sometimes it's an issue that produces conflict in the marriage. Sometimes it's simply a desire to grow closer to each other and to Christ.

LCC Marriage Ministries provides support through:
• Marriage Mentoring - walking alongside another couple for one year of encouragement, enrichment, or restoration. See the dropdown on this webpage.
• Marriage Counseling - meeting with a pastor or with a local marriage and family counselor. Learn more about pastoral counseling at LCC.
• Pure Desire - support and guidance for both men and women who struggle with (or whose spouses struggle with) sexual addiction and pornography. Learn more about Pure Desire at LCC.

For more info, contact the LCC office.

Congratulations on your engagement!

With intentional preparation for your marriage as well as your wedding ceremony, our prayer is that you will experience a satisfying, vibrant, and loving marriage that brings glory to God.

Start by taking these steps to arrive at your wedding day:

• Contact a marriage ministry leader by calling the LCC office or emailing marriage@lighthousehome.org.
• Submit a completed Premarital His and Hers Forms to the LCC office.
• Attend a preliminary conference with a pastor.
• After meeting with a pastor, set a wedding date and reserve a space at LCC.
• Go through premarital counseling using a Lighthouse-approved curriculum such as I Promise.
• Meet with the wedding coordinator.
• Sign the wedding contract.
• Host rehearsal.
• Enjoy your wedding day!
• Continue to enrich your relationship through marriage mentoring, classes, events, and resources.
