Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Our mission is to provide local churches with the tools to transform existing programs of marriage preparation into wellsprings of dynamic marriage discipleship that foster both parish connection and nurture authentic accompaniment before and after the wedding day.

  • Witness to love is a powerful tool helping pastors better prepare young people for marriage, as well as help renew and rebuild communities through our local churches. Founded in 2015, the Witness to Love methodology is proving to prevent divorce through solid relationships of involvement in church communities. Witness to Love incorporates accompaniment and mentoring between an engaged couple and their "chosen" mentor couple and uses the latest psychology techniques of "attachment theory" for the development of "relational virtue." In addition to the significant lowering of divorce rates for newly married couples, the program strengthens existing marriages of mentor couples and deepens both couples's connection to their churches. The results continue to be seen through conversions and increased church attendance.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
