Full Well Marriage Ministry Model

We launch the ministry in three months. We grow it over three years.

Strong marriage ministries, like redwoods, are built slowly; with deep roots, a strong trunk, and a canopy that lasts.

  • Roots: Year 1

    deep roots create lasting strength

    Foundation and Formation

    Launch 1–2 marriage groups

    Train group leaders

    Establish culture of safety and trust

    Create consistent rhythms for groups

    Introduce marriage ministry to the congregation

    Host 1–2 simple marriage gatherings

    Growth in Year 1 is mostly unseen — but everything depends on it.

  • Trunk: Year 2

    A strong trunk gives the ministry shape and stability.

    Structure and Stability

    Add groups as leaders naturally emerge

    Strengthen leader development

    Establish an annual rhythm for groups

    Offer workshops or seasonal marriage events

    Increase church-wide visibility

    Continue leadership support and training


    Growth becomes visible, but remains intentional and steady.

  • Canopy: Year 3

    A flourishing canopy provides shelter, care, and impact.

    Flourishing & Expanded Reach

    Host retreats or conferences

    Develop leaders of leaders

    Expand group offerings

    Create a multi-layered system of care for marriages

    The canopy represents a mature ministry that blesses the entire church community.
