The Ravines
The Ravines Ministry exists to bring hope, healing, strengthening and renewal to Christian couples and their marriages. We believe that marriage is a gift from God and can be healed, whether in immediate crisis or in need of spiritual or emotional strengthening. It is our
Ministry’s desire to see all Christian couples find renewal in their marriage through the power of Christ.
We are all aware of the staggering statistic. Approximately fifty percent of all marriages in the United States end in divorce. And sadly, that statistic doesn’t change within our churches.
what if there IS hope…?
The Ravines Ministry is a retreat center for marriages in crisis, where life’s obstacles seem to be too much to bear. It is also for couples that are trying to strengthen their marriage or simply get back on the right path. The Ravines doesn’t offer an easy solution, but we offer help using the gifts of trained counselors and the life-giving power of Jesus Christ.
He makes springs pour water into the ravines…” Psalm 104:10
