Marriage is foundational to the success of your family as well as our church and community. Grace Marriage is our discipleship pathway that equips couples to GROW TOGETHER.
Grace Marriage is an exciting ministry designed to enrich, protect, and grow your marriage. Using Biblical, grace-based materials you will have time to talk with your spouse and explore ways to enrich your relationship. Our marriage ministry is an intentional commitment to grow in your relationship with each other and the Lord.
Husbands and wives meet with other couples in various stages of life to explore different aspects of marriage. The sessions are called marriage coaching. Marriage coaching is an intentional and proactive approach to re-focus on positives in your relationship. Marriage coaching is not a lecture. It is not marriage counseling or group therapy. It is not a place where you will be forced to share your deepest secrets. Quite simply, it is a Biblically-based marriage maintenance model that can revolutionize your relationship. Couples in their 20s to couples in their 80s are involved in Grace Marriage groups and have been greatly blessed by participating!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Who can attend?
Any married couple may attend. Couples of all ages have been blessed by participating in Grace Marriage. A couple does not have to be a member of our church to participate. Past participants are invited to continue since Grace Marriage sessions are new every year.
When are the sessions held?
2026 Saturday dates are: February 14, May 2, August 29 and November 14. Sessions will be held here at HFBC from 8:00am - 12:30pm. A light breakfast and snacks are included.
Who will you be with?
You will be in a group with your spouse as well as other couples who want their marriage to grow. Groups will have mixed ages. Newly marrieds as well as couples who have been married for decades will be involved. Your facilitator couple will walk through the day’s material with your group. You and your spouse will also have personal time together throughout the training to privately discuss the topics addressed.
How do you sign up?
CLICK HERE to register online. You will be directed to the Grace Marriage website. There you will create a login for yourself, answer some questions, and pay the registration fee. You will then see a link to invite your spouse to create their own login. Each couple only pays once, but both of you will have a login to access the online materials.
What does it cost?
What does a normal date night cost if you go out to eat and see a movie or concert? $75? $100? The cost for one full year of marriage coaching, including two Journals, 4 coaching sessions, Journal website access, and a digital resource toolbox is only $150 per couple. We encourage you to consider this cost an investment in your marriage.
Is there a deadline?
Yes. Participants must be registered and paid online in order to have your Journals shipped no later than Sunday January 25, 2026. This will allow you to be ready to participate in the first session on Saturday February 14, 2026.
What about childcare?
Grace Marriage sessions last approx. 4½ hours on a Saturday morning. That is a long time for children to be at the church building, even if they have activities. We believe that most children would be happier in their own home or with family/friends they know. We also want to give couples freedom to focus on each other without feeling the need to check on the kids if they are just down the hallway. For these reasons we encourage you to seek other alternatives for childcare. Our best advice would be to consider this Saturday that you have set apart to focus on your marriage as an extended date – time for just the two of you. Make a full day of it if you can – enjoy a date alone together after the coaching session. However, if you are unable to do so, please contact the church in advanceand let us know that you will need childcare so that we can make arrangements to have childcare workers present the morning of the session. Contact the church office at (270) 826-2332 for more information regarding childcare or to reserve a spot for your child(ren).
