Our goal at Harbor Covenant is to encourage and develop marriage relationships that are strong, passionate, loving, vulnerable, truth-filled and Christ-like.

All ships need to come into a safe harbor. Fast or slow, big or small, good condition or bad, all ships need to come into harbor from time to time. All marriages need a “safe harbor” to come into as well – to be refitted or re-equipped to enjoy daily life together as well as to weather future storms.

For some this might be a time of relaxation, refreshment, and rest for the crew; for others this might involve scraping off some barnacles or removing a bit of rust; for still others it might be time for more extensive work in dry dock. But the simple fact is that all ships need to do it, and all marriages need the same.

In the Safe Harbor ministry, we seek to establish a safe harbor for marriages in our community.

For more information about Safe Harbor: Email Harbor Covenant or call Steve and Cindy Teitzel or Jody and Mike Coulston.

We have lots of ideas for this new ministry of support and encouragement – they’ll unfold as time goes on. Here are two events from last year :

Marriage... Being More than Survivors

At the heart of our existence is the desire to be intimate and to be loved by another. Marriage is designed to meet that need for intimacy and love. Our desire is to see each of us humble and hungry for what God intended for our marriages. Our focus will be to discuss marriage, the joys, the pressures and how we can become intimate allies in our journey here on earth.

Love Talk – Take Time for Your Marriage

Seventy-plus couples spent six Sunday evenings having fun with their own spouses and with other couples, having great desserts, and learning together about communication.

Developed by Les and Leslie Parrot, this is a great new series on building intimate marriages that helps couples understand why we communicate the way we do.
