Marriage Ministry
Marriage Ministry
As a church, we are so excited to provide resources for our married (or planning to be married!) couples. Here’s a quick overview of what resources we have to offer:
In a world that is shifting right beneath our feet, we need to be more united than ever. Pastor Mike and Kim Jankowski will walk us through the many aspects of getting hold of the course and navigating it together. Pastor Matt and Jess will be leading us in intimate times of praise and worship, along with testimonies from those who have gone this way before.
Registration is NOW open! Be sure to sign up for the event AND reserve your hotel room.
Ongoing Meetings
Couples Class
"The Daily Marriage" | Pastor Ted Bichsel
Conference Room 1 & 2 | Resumes Sunday, Sept. 13th
These classes meet every Sunday immediately after the 1st service in Conference Rooms 1 & 2 and are focused on equipping couples to fulfill the vision the Lord has for their lives. You will walk away each week with tools to grow in your marriage and be challenged to grow closer to the Lord and to one another. This is a required class for all those involved in any of the SGT Marriage Ministries.
Pre-Marital Counseling / Getting Married at SGT
Congratulations on your decision to join in marriage with the love of your life!
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord” - Proverbs 18:22 (ESV)
Your family at SGT would love the honor of walking with both of you as you grow closer to the Lord as a couple and prepare for your married life. Couples that desire to have their marriage ceremony at SGT, or would like to have an SGT Pastor officiate their off-site wedding will need to:
- Meet with a member of the SGT Pastoral Staff for approval
- Attend SGT regularly for 3 months or more before submitting a marriage application
- Complete the SGT Pre-Covenant Course
The Pre-Covenant Course consists of five 2-hour meetings. This course is designed for engaged couples and those that are contemplating marriage. You will work to get to know one another on a deeper level before you say, “I do.”
The next session will begin on Sunday, March 7th, 2027. Classes will be March 7th, March 14th, March 21st, April 4th, and April 11th.

Kingdom Marriage
What is the purpose for your marriage? Does God have something specific in mind for us to do? I know there must be more to marriage than just struggling to make ends meet and striving to be happy! Kingdom Marriage is a 6-week small group marriage ministry. Couples meet in homes using a video/workbook format. Tony Evans’ inspired teaching will give men and women new insights into biblical principles as well as assurance that God has a powerful purpose for each Kingdom Couple.
