Welcome! We can't wait for this year's Marriage Retreat! We are returning to the beautiful Marriott in Brooklyn Center for a time away of learning and deepening our relationships with our spouses! We are honored and privileged to have David and Sarah Simerson walk us through some important and key steps for our marriages.
Dave and Sarah are pastors and have been married for 33 years and still like each other—a lot! They’ve raised four kids who are now grown and have blessed them with four sweet grandbabies. Over the years, they’ve learned that a good marriage isn’t about perfection—it’s about grace, laughter, and growing together. You’ll hear real stories, honest lessons, and practical encouragement to help couples build strong, Christ-centered marriages that last.
