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!
