MARRIAGE AND SEXUALITY RESOURCES

God calls us lives marked by devotion to Him and obedience to His ways. Staying true to God’s design for marriage, sexuality and relationships can lead us in directions that are contrary to the culture around us. See below for resources and ideas to help you better understand God’s design and how to live and love in ways that align with His calling.

Don’t Do it alone

Are you struggling in an area involving marriage, relationships or sexuality? The best initial step toward healing and health is often to talk to a trusted friend who is mature in their Christian faith. A great starting place is to reach out to your Campus Pastor. You can email them here:

Andrew Reichart, Woodmen Heights
Kevin Feldotto, Southwest
Matt Ferrell, Rockrimmon
Doug Olsen, Monument
Howie Close, Ark Valley

For women who would be more comfortable emailing a female member of our staff, CLICK HERE.

If you would benefit from the services of a professional, Christian counselor, our Campus Pastors and staff can also provide you with recommendations.
