“As go marriages so go families; as go families so go churches; as go churches so go communities…”
– Gary J. Oliver, Ph.D.
At The Bridge, we believe strong marriages and healthy families are at the heart of a thriving church and a flourishing community. That’s why our Marriage & Family Ministry is all about coming alongside couples and parents with care, connection, and Christ-centered resources.
Building Strong Marriages
A lasting marriage doesn’t happen by accident—it’s something we build, shape, and grow with intention. As Gary Thomas reminds us, “A good marriage isn’t something you find; it’s something you make and you have to keep on making it.”
Whether you’re preparing for marriage, newly married, or have been together for decades, we’re here to support you through every season. We offer:
- Premarital Counseling
- Marriage Mentoring
- Crisis Support & Care
- Classes
- Ongoing Resources for Connection & Growth
Our goal is to help couples grow closer to each other and to God, navigating both the highs and lows with faith, grace, and purpose.
Supporting Parents
Parenting is one of the most profound and rewarding journeys in life, yet it can also be incredibly challenging. We firmly believe that no parent should traverse this path alone.
Our vibrant parenting ministry offers a variety of supportive resources, including:
- Engaging Workshops
- Parents’ Night Out
- Support Groups & Parent Communities
- Comprehensive Resources
Our mission is to empower parents to raise children who deeply know and love Jesus, creating homes that are not only nurturing but also vibrant sanctuaries of faith, where spiritual growth is cultivated and lived out in everyday life.
Why It Matters...
At the heart of it all is our belief that strong marriages and families create a ripple effect that transforms not just homes, but churches and entire communities. By intentionally investing in marriages and families, we believe we can bring hope, healing, and lasting impact to Rancho Santa Margarita and beyond.
Let’s build something beautiful—together.
