Marriage

Helping shape Christ-centered marriages, families, and individuals.
Choose this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15

Marriage

Marriage is the practical relationship that God provides to us to help us better understand the relationship He desires to have with us. Marriage has less to do with the relationship between husbands and wives and more to do with the relationship between you and Jesus. We are a resource for your marriage so that you can continue to grow and be the husband and wife God intends you to be.

2 to 1 Premarital Class

We hear wedding bells! If you are engaged, soon-to-be engaged, recently married within the last year, or you know a couple that fits one of these categories – we have a fantastic resource for you!

Our 2 to 1 Premarital class is for couples to learn proactive measures to help their marriages go and grow in the right direction from the start. God is not interested in you just surviving in your marriage, He wants your marriage to thrive!

Re|Engage

Marriage is a Gift! Marriage is a Covenant! Marriage is a Miracle! The institution of marriage is ordained by God. He uses the marriage relationship as a way for us to better understand the relationship He desires to have with us.

Whether your marriage is thriving or struggling, your marriage deserves attention and effort. Re|Engage is an enriching marriage ministry that dives into topics such as Grace, Humility, Forgiveness, Commitment, Expectations, and Emotional Intimacy, just to name a few.

Family

We believe that we, as Silverdale Baptist Church, are helping shape Christ-centered families. We emphatically believe in discipleship that starts in our homes. As fathers and mothers, it is our responsibility and privilege to raise our sons and daughters into the men and women that God created them to be.

Family Worship
Family Worship

Family Worship is not necessarily a common term and yet we often practice family worship components in our homes. Praying with our families, listening to worship music, engaging in family devotions, all of these practices and more can be family worship if they are done with a worshipful heart, it’s worship! We want to help families grow in such a way that Christ is honored in their homes and that love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control are all fruits that are demonstrated in every household.
