"Bishop and Lady Joyce, the sessions helped us save our marriage. I can truly say that these sessions have restored our marriage. We have been given the tools we need to make it work. For us that is making time for each other, spending time TOGETHER and communicating. Yes we are still opposites, but this means we need each other equally and as we see ourselves as ONE with Christ in the center, we can defeat whatever tries to oppose what God says we can have in our marriage. PRAISE GOD!!"
"Bishop and Lady Joyce, The premarital classes have helped us understand our difference, personalities, strengths and weaknesses. We are so glad we had this opportunity prior to marriage."
"My husband and I are thoroughly enjoying the classes and I am personally learning so much in the area of communication and conflict resolution. Even though my husband and I have been married for a short time I thought we were prepared and ready, but through the classes I have learned that even with all the preparation there have been things that have come up that I personally wasn’t as prepared and ready as I thought. I would like to thank Bishop, Lady Joyce and the marriage team for providing classes for us to last. I look forward to the meeting each week. Again, thank you for this great opportunity."
"We thought we were doing okay with our financial management until after the couple’s checkup. We see where we need to improve our communication in the areas of finance."
"I get excited as we prepare to get on the road to come to the marriage session. I am thankful for the positive attitude of the facilitators and the team as we pulled up on the grounds. We were greeted at the sign in table and as we entered the classroom. The sessions have been powerful, insightful, as well as useful. My husband and I are utilizing the two hour trip, which we call “our time” on the highway, to ponder, talk and move forward in our relationship with one another and God. Blessings."
"It has been very helpful to our marriage. It was like rain to a dry land. We were dry in our communications and we needed to walk in unity. Our communication and unity have improved. Instead of being in separate parts of the house – we are doing things together."
"The sessions have brought us closer together and helped us to understand each other."
"The sessions have restored communication in our marriage and have brought us closer. Also, we have begun laughing again, enjoying one another. I like the fact that the sessions gives you a set time each week to come together as a couple. It also has encouraged us to have date nights."
"It allows you to share with other couples and lets you know, as couples, you are not alone in your struggles and lets you share in your accomplishments."
"The seminar lets us know that although we have different personalities; we can still live and love in Christ."
"My wife and I have really enjoyed this seminar. We have laughed and learned a lot about communication."
Renew… Refresh… Rediscover
ONE relationship that is probably the most dynamic and challenging of all relationships…is MARRIAGE. Falling in love is very different from building a GOOD marriage. Most of us plan and prepare for other aspects of our lives i.e. buying a car, building a career or even making a shopping list for the grocery store. Marriage gets stronger and more satisfying every day when you do it God’s way (Proverbs 14:23). God has a plan; He created you and intended for you to succeed. We are here to encourage you on your journey… The classes are for any couple who recognizes that their marriage can be enriched now so that it will last for many years. (Excerpt from Marriage on the Rock by Jimmy Evans).
The “Ultimate Marriage Builder’s” Marriage Classes were instituted at St. Peter’s Church and World Outreach Center by Bishop James C. and Lady Joyce Hash to help create strong marriages. Strong marriages create strong families and with strong families, we become a strong church and a strong community.
