God’s Original Design for Marriage
God created marriage as a sacred covenant.
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).
This beautiful unity reflects Christ’s relationship with the church.
It was never meant to be broken.
But we live in a fallen world where relationships sometimes fracture despite our best intentions.
God understands this reality more than we realize.
When Divorce Is Addressed in Scripture
The Bible doesn’t shy away from the topic of divorce.
In Matthew 19:8, Jesus explains, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.”
This teaches us something profound about God’s heart.
He acknowledges our brokenness while still pointing us toward His perfect plan.
In 1 Corinthians 7:15, Paul writes about situations where an unbelieving spouse leaves: “But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances.”
These passages show us that while God’s ideal is lifelong marriage, He provides guidance for our broken reality.
He is a God of both truth and grace.
Need Prayer?
Life can be overwhelming, which is why many turn to prayer—a simple conversation with God—for strength, hope, and peace. The Bible reminds us that prayer is powerful and meaningful. Whatever you're facing, we’d be honored to pray for you or your loved ones. You're not alone, and we’re here to partner with you in prayer.

Finding Healing After Divorce
The story of the woman at the well in John 4 speaks volumes.
Jesus knew she had been married five times, yet He offered her living water.
He didn’t condemn her but gave her a new beginning.
That same grace extends to you today.
Healing begins with bringing your pain to God.
Let Him replace shame with His gentle love.
Find community with others who understand your journey.
Take small steps of faith each day, trusting that God can restore what feels irreparably broken.
Remember that your identity is not defined by your marital status but by your relationship with Christ.
We are all works in progress, being transformed by His love.
Find Community
We all have a deep need for connection, but building meaningful relationships isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created welcoming spaces where you can meet new people and build authentic community. No matter where you are in your faith journey, you’re invited to explore, grow, and belong here.
