Day of Prayer for Virginia Marriages
Join Us for a Day of Prayer for the Marriages of Virginia on 10/19/26
Sign up for a spot during the 24 hour prayer chain and/or sign up to gather with marriage champions at 7:00PM EST for a virtual prayer gathering.
Every Revival begins with prayer and we are believing for a revival of marriages in Virginia. What would our communities look like if there was a move of God in Marriages & Familes?
On Monday, October 19th we will begin praying at midnight and will have a virtual sign up for time slots to cover the day in prayer for marriages and those engaged, seriously dating, or praying for their spouse. We invite you to join us on this special day as we dedicate a full day to prayer. In addition to the prayer chain, we will also have a live gathering of marriage champions and church leaders coming together through Zoom.

Marriage Roadmap Experience
Stop Drifting Through Marriage Without a Shared Direction
Most couples spend more time planning their wedding than they spend planning the next ten years of their marriage. The person you married is not exactly the same person sitting beside you today. You have both grown and changed—and your circumstances, responsibilities, hopes, and needs have changed too.
That is why a healthy marriage needs more than love. It requires intentional conversations, shared priorities, and a willingness to seek God’s direction together.
The Marriage Roadmap is not about giving you another overwhelming to-do list. It is about helping you understand where you are, identify what matters most, and choose a meaningful destination you can pursue as a team.
We’re Brian and Heather Mayer, and we understand how easily a couple can become so focused on managing life that they stop dreaming, planning, and growing together. Register now for this virtual webinar. It is wort the investment in your marriage.
“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal...”
—Philippians 3:13–14

The Communication Experience
Stop Having the Same Argument Over and Over
You know the one. It’s not really about the overflowing trash, the dirty dishes, or who was 10 minutes late.
It’s the fight under the fight. It’s the tense silence, the crossed arms, and the sinking feeling that you’re roommates stuck in a script, not partners in a grace-filled marriage. It’s time to change the script.
Register here for this 2 hour virtual webinar.

JRCC Fundamentally Us Marriage Workshop
Join us for a NEW kind of Christian marriage workshop: one that digs down to the fundamentals of the gospel and the roots of your conflicts, so you can find harmony in who you are TOGETHER.
In God, you and your spouse are ONE; together, you have strengths, talents, and gifts He wants to use for His glory and for your good! However, when one or both spouses believe lies about God or their own identities, their foundation as a couple is weak and has the potential to crumble.
In this one-day workshop, Josiah and Alissa Coburn of Seeking the Symphony Ministries will help you and your spouse demolish lies you may be believing about God or your own identities---the foundational issues that keep you coming back to the same fights (with yourself AND your spouse) again and again. Then, they'll lead you in exercises to help you discover who God made you to be, individually AND as a couple, so you can walk together in harmony and unity of purpose! $20/per person and you can register here
