A Monthly Gathering for Prayer, Growth, and Fellowship
Join us every last Saturday of the month in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for an evening dedicated to strengthening marriages and building lifelong friendships.
A safe and Spirit-led space for couples to:
- Pray together
- Share life authentically
- Learn through discussion
- Enjoy dinner and fellowship
Plus, one annual retreat and occasional all-day excursions to Orlando, Tampa, St. Pete, the Keys, and beyond.
👉 This group is by invitation only.
Why We Gather
Our mission is simple: encourage, heal, and empower couples.
Every couple in the group is invited to grow in Christ and, in time, mentor at least one other couple—through their local church or within their community.
This group fosters:
- Worship of Jesus at the center of marriage
- Fellowship across churches and communities
- Household discipleship and healthy family rhythms
- Authentic growth that overflows into mentoring others
