We would like an accurate count one week before each training session.

We encourage clergy to train couple ministers (healthy married couples) to assist them in marriage preparation and marriage enrichment

     -$125 new couple ministers
(Theology of Marriage & Family, NFP, Interfaith Couples, Social Science Findings, & PREPARE /ENRICH).
