At Autumn Ridge Church we believe that marriage is a gift from God and when at its best reflects the self-sacrificing love that Christ demonstrated for the church. It is our goal to partner with Gods Holy Spirit to minister to the marriages within our faith community. We like to think of enriching marriages as a function of discipleship. As we are all moving along the spiritual journey to be transformed into the image of Christ, this spiritual transformation will also impact our marriages and families.
We seek the Lords leading to accomplish his purpose. The primary ways that we want to achieve this purpose are through a comprehensive and integrated approach to the marriages and families of Autumn Ridge Church and our surrounding community.
