Participants 

These programs are for all married couples, engaged couples, and Youth regardless of their background, experience or faith.  The program accepts people/couples where "they are now" and builds from there.  Building healthy relationships is the central focus.  This process starts with self and then progresses to include spouse, family and community, with God as an integral part of all relationships.    

  

Leadership and Team

The sponsoring church steering committee selects the leaders and co-leaders for a program presentation. They work together in selecting the team members  (please see Leadership section).  

 

Presentation Process and Features

The marriage formation processes and step-by-step details of how to present the programs are in the respective program books (please see Materials section).  

 

Ministry Central Coordination

The Ministry Office and the Board of Directors provides central coordination for the programs and ministry.  This includes help with starting and maintaining the program(s).  Parishes/Congregations obtain sponsorship for the ministry through The Marriage Enrichment Weekend Program, Inc.  (please see Sponsorship section).  There are several administrative procedures used to provide coordination of ministry activities.
