About Us
Us: We love Jesus and we love being married! We have found deep joy in serving God together through premarital mentoring and serving in various ways in our church’s marriage ministry. We also love to laugh together while running races, traveling, camping, and simply sitting by the pool. We truly are each other’s best friend. And sometimes we are a little awkward.
Matt: I’m an IT professional and a bit of a crazy runner (some people say). I get outside as much as I can but do love woodworking in my shop too. Investing in marriages, teaching people how to study the Bible and how to better leaders are things that I’m most passionate about!
Melissa: I love people and am passionate about marriage and discipling young mamas. When I’m not working at my school library sharing my love of reading, you can find me running the streets of Kentwood, tending to my plants or enjoying a cup of tea. I’m always up for new adventures and deep conversations!
Beliefs
Scripture
We believe the Bible is God’s Word, written down by persons who were moved to write what they wrote by God’s Spirit.
God
God is one and exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. All three are equal in authority, power and the qualities of divinity.
Father
We believe God the Father is sovereign over all things.
Son, Jesus Christ
We believe Jesus Christ became a man through the miracle of the virgin birth. He is both fully God and fully man, yet perfect and without sin.
The Holy Spirit
The third Person of the Trinity enters the life of Christ’s followers when they surrender their lives to Him.
The Nature of Humanity
Humans were created in God’s image to enjoy His fellowship and fulfill His will. Because humans fell into sin through disobedience, all are spiritually dead apart from Jesus Christ.
Salvation
Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross is the only provision by which a person may be delivered from sin and eternal death and be reconciled to God.
The Church
We believe all who are united through the Holy Spirit by faith in Jesus are a part of the Body of Christ.
The Future
We believe Jesus Christ will return to dwell with man and will restore all things.
Marriage
We believe in the biblical definition of marriage, strictly between a man and a woman. For an in depth explanation, click here.
