Radical Love
RADICAL LOVE is a 12-week, faith-based marriage skills building program. Radical Love understands that marriage is perfect: the people in it are not. Since marriage is perfect, it cannot be improved. Moreover, marriage both facilitates and accomplishes all that God designed–conformity to Christ, companionship along the journey and children, the offspring of a fruitful union.
Next class starts Spring, 2010.

Premarital Counseling
All couples that schedule New Mercies Christian Church for their wedding ceremony must complete an approved premarital counseling program. This counseling is to assist couples in developing skills to navigate their way through marriage successfully and to identify (and if possible resolve) areas of difference between couples that may become a source of conflict later. Before your wedding is actually scheduled with the church, you should call the Counseling Department for an appointment to discuss premarital counseling.

New Mercies Christian Church Dept. of Counseling Services has been so charged with bringing forth education and awareness to a hidden societal ill which plagues the Body of Christ and its neighboring communities. This ill robs families of the abundant life God through Christ intended for them to experience by holding it victims captive through manipulation and control that’s managed by fear. This is the “Face of Domestic Violence and Abuse” which has debilitating effects that are seen cross all religious affiliations, socioeconomic groups and races and ethnicities. Because of its prevalence, it is of great importance that we acknowledge the issues by bringing it out of the shadows along with all of its pervasive affects. We are called to bear one another’s burden to fulfill the Law of Christ Galatians 6:2.
