Marriage
We equip, educate, and inspire couples to live with Christ as the center of their marriage and family; creating covenant marriages that reach others for Christ.
God's desire is for His Word, the Bible, to transform your life in every area, including your marriage and family. God wants His best for you in your marriage. Thanks for letting us partner with you as you continue to grow in Him.
Marriage Ministries is led by Everett and Kim Kvamme.

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.

Marriage mentoring is the opportunity to have a couple that has been through your stage of marriage or similar experiences walk alongside you to support, encourage, and point you to God's Word for advice.
Become a mentor: Our mentors go through the same process as our mentees. We partner with Strong Marriages for support, training, and curriculum. To become a marriage mentor, you will be asked to complete a mentor application and submit it to the LCC office. You will then meet with a member of the marriage mentoring leadership team. If, after this meeting, it is determined that marriage mentoring may be for you, you will go through the next MarriageMentor training. Working with the ministry coordinators, you will be matched with a mentee couple.
Contact Kim Kvamme for more info.
