CALLED TOGETHER
Blending Marriage & Ministry for God’s Glory
Join us for just $79 per couple!
WHAT IS CALLED TOGETHER?
The calling to full-time ministry requires a life of selfless service. The calling to marriage requires the same. When you are called to both ministry and marriage, they can feel like competing priorities.
The Called Together marriage event is for couples who have already experienced some of the unique marital challenges for those involved in full-time ministry. This two-day getaway for ministry couples will speak to the right balance between the demands of ministry and the priority of marriage. Authentic and seasoned pastors, speakers, and authors will bring insights and create space for couples to grow together toward greater intimacy resulting in greater joy in their ministry calling. This event is designed for every married couple involved in local church or parachurch ministry who need a reset and refreshment to move forward... called together.
