Marriage Ministry

Mount Olive Church of Plano
Forever Yours in Christ
Marriage Enrichment Class

The Mount Olive Church of Plano Marriage Class is dedicated to the principle that Marriage is God's oldest and most sacred institution and that the covenant of marriage is a covenant with God, and thereby irrevocable. There is always strife involved as two become one in Christ Jesus, but fire strengthens iron and a commitment to God and each other strengthens a marriage against the wiles of the devil.

In our class, we seek to learn by listening to the greatest Christian teachers available via tape and video. We then discuss elements of their teaching and how to apply the lessons we learn in our everyday life. We never air the family's dirty laundry but we discuss real life issues and challenges and we learn from one another. We encourage one another and give practical ways to apply God's word to our circumstances in order to improve our marriages.

Our facilitators - Cindy and Jesse Townsend and Debbie and Rico Allen represent over 60 years of marriage between them and call upon their journeys in life to give godly guidance and biblical direction. In the end, the class teaches itself as it is all about learning from each other. We have newlyweds and marriages with decades of experience and there is wisdom in each heart God has brought to the class.

We thank Pastor Sam and Pastor Gloria for allowing us to meet and focus our Sunday school time on the development and nurturing of our marriages here at Mount Olive. We pray that if you are a married couple, you will join us and contribute to the process of helping all of us in our journey to improve our marriages day by day, week by week.
