Dear Church Family,
Every year 1.2 million marriages
end in divorce. Quite a staggering
figure isn’t it? What’s even more
distressing is that the divorce rate
within the church is now as high if
not higher than outside the church.
But there is good news! Those of
us who are blessed with good
marriages can do something to help.
By becoming a part of the Marriage
Mentoring Ministry.
If you are interested in helping
empower couples to build rock solid
relationships, please contact me at
lbridger@hebronchurch.org or
770.962.3671 ext. 238. You are
desperately needed and you do not
have to have all the answers. Just be
willing to open your heart.
In Christ,
Libby Bridger
Executive Director of Discipleship & Assimilation
The Purpose:
The purpose of marriage mentoring is
to lovingly invest in the preparation,
maximization, and restoration of lifelong
marriages by walking alongside
couples who are less experienced than
their mentors.
A Marriage Mentor Couple:
- Willingly shares what they know
(in a noncompetitive way).
- Represents skill, knowledge, virtue
and accomplishments because they
have gone before the couple they
are mentoring.
- Takes a personal and heartfelt interest
in the other couple’s development
and well-being.
- Offers support, challenge, patience
and enthusiasm while guiding other
couples to new levels of competence.
- Points the way and represents tangible
evidence of what another couple
can become.
- Exposes the recipients of their
mentoring to new ideas, perspectives,
and standards.
- Has more expertise in terms of
knowledge yet views themselves as
equal to those they mentor.
Our mentoring ministry will emphasize
three areas.
- Preparing - building solid
relationships for engaged and
newlywed couples
- Maximizing good marriages to
become great marriages
- Repairing marriages in crisis
You will be trained given resources and
guided along the way. Will you still
make mistakes? Yes. We all will. But if
you bring a genuine heart into the
process and willingly invest yourself in
another couples life, you can’t fail.
