About Us

Marriage Nutrition is dedicated toward strengthening Christian marriages and preventing divorce. This is not a "troubled marriage" site; although we can help troubled or crisis marriages near divorce, we are primarily focused on marriages that would be described as "good" or "average" or "normal". 

Current divorce statistics reveal little difference in Christian and non-Christian divorce rates. We are determined to change these statistics by altering the way Christian couples view their marriages, by providing information and education on how to nourish marriages, and by assisting couples with customized and specific tools for the unique characteristics which are present in every different marriage.

GET INVOLVED
Thank you for your interest in serving in the Contemporary Worship Ministry at First Pres and for your desire to lead our church in worship in spirit and in truth. To start the process, you must be a believer in Jesus Christ.  Make certain, before you even start the process, that God is your joy and that you are satisfied in Him alone. If He is not, and the outcome isn't what you expect, bitterness, anger, jealousy and/or pride will fill you. We do not want that. In fact, we want the opposite. We want to edify you, give you constructive criticism and connect you where the Lord leads.

Things You Should Know

• You must be a believer in Jesus Christ
• Preference for openings in the worship ministry will be given to active members of First Pres
• You must be able to take honest feedback during your initial meeting with our staff.
• We need faithful players and singers who will be willing to play at least once a month.
• We only have a certain amount of positions open in each ministry.
• Though we will place you in a certain ministry, it doesn't guarantee you will stay in that ministry. It is up to that ministry leader to decide whether you are capable and trustworthy enough to serve in that specific role. If they take you out of the rotation, please return the next time we have auditions.
