"Connected"

Connected for Life

Purpose

The thrust of this ministry “The Message Church” is to build strong families. Our Senior Pastor, Bishop Rick & his lovely wife, Pastor Debra value marriage and esteems the covenant of marriage very high. Being both of their 2nd marriage, they have experienced and have gained revelation knowledge on how to bring 2 families with 2 sets of children under one roof and create a successful family. Being married for 30 years, 6 children and 11 grandchildren have given them the opportunity to share principles from God’s word that you can apply to your “Today” situation and receive answers to cause you to have a blissful and prosperous marriage and family.

Vision of Connected Marriage Ministry

To equip couples to live in the order and plan intended by God for Christian marriages. To help couples thrive in their marriage by providing empowering educational tools to nourish and cherish each other in a healthy marriage relationship. This ministry will, not only play a pivotal role in building successful marriages, but it will also impact children, families, the church, the community and ultimately, the world.
