FamilY Life
God loves families and desires for them to be fruitful and flourish in Him. At Bartley’s Family Life Ministry, we equip, empower, and encourage families to experience joy, transformation, and healing. We believe strong, God-centred families will strengthen communities and bring lasting transformation.
COUPLE'S MENTORING
As a church, we seek to build strong foundations for families, especially marriages. Bartley is blessed with spiritually mature couples who are able to mentor younger couples and share life's journey together. Through the Couple Mentoring program, younger couples not only understand more about each other but also learn to apply useful tools in building strong relationships. Couple Mentoring is open to both couples in courtship and married couples. For interested couples, please click on the button below and send us an email!

I NEED SUPPORT
RESTORE & REBUILD (RR)
RR is a ministry which supports & cares for those who are in separation or divorce. It uses Christian based DivorceCare materials over 13 sessions from April to October 2025 on mostly the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 2:30pm to 5:45pm with a vacation break in the month of June. Topics in this support group include Road to Recovery, Anger, Grief and Depression, Single Living, Financial & Legal issues, and more.
If you know of someone who has just been through or who are still in the midst of a separation or a divorce, do ask them to consider participating in the RR support group.
Non-Bartley members and non-believers are also welcome.
We also run the RR4K for kids 5-12 years old to help them walk through the divorce or separation of their parents. Both adult & kids DivorceCare contents are strategically coordinated to help single parents and their children find hope and healing. RR and RR4K run concurrently on the same day and time at Bartley Christian Church.
(Please note that RR will take a break in 2026.)
