MARRIAGE RETREAT 

One day can literally revolutionize a marriage.  Every fall, Surprise offers a marriage retreat that allows couples to spend the day together to work on their relationship.  Our 2024 retreat is on Sept 21 in beautiful Medora, ND! 

MARRIAGE COACHING

Contact Pastor Matt Anderson (Pastormatt@surprisechurch.com) to learn how coaching can help you and your spouse “play on the same team.”

MARRIAGE GROUPS

We refuse to be too busy to work on our marriages. Our Marriage Groups meet weekly in person or online to share a meal, laugh, pray, and take time for things that matter. It’s the way Jesus wanted it, moving our marriages from isolation to a supportive community.

Whether you’re married, engaged or “seriously dating,” contact Janel (701-595-6497) or Ann (410-507-9480) for information. We can help you start a group or join an existing group right where you live! Click here to learn more about community groups!
