Whether you are dating, you’ve been married for six months or sixty years, taking time to learn and laugh together goes a long way to keep your relationship strong.
For the past few years we have hosted a date night here at the church. This year is no different . . . kinda. We are still challenging you to pick a night to intentionally invest in your marriage. We’ve selected the videos, mapped out an itinerary – all that’s needed now is . . . you!
How it works
We’ve selected a few video sessions (Sessions 1, 3 and 4) from Rightnow Media’s Marriage Night! Click on the Rightnow Media logo (on the left) for a direct link to the session list.

Make a Date Night Plan
All great evenings start with a plan. Set aside about 3 hours for the evening, if you choose to include a meal.
Treat this date night at home just as you would a date night out. Get rid of distractions, dress up, and be intentional about focusing on one another. Here’s an outline of what your date night could look like:
4:30pm
