Vision
At August Gate, we believe that a Christ-Centered marriage is the foundation for a family.
Many churches do a great job at premarital and crisis counseling, but what about the in between? Too often, married couples go through the motions in life, not realizing they are drifting apart from their spouse. They prioritize work, kids, and the business of life over their marriage. We are striving to change this; couples should step up and fight for the precious gift that God has given them. Whether you feel like you don't even know your spouse anymore, or your marriage is stronger than it's ever been, AG Marriages is a ministry designed to help equip you with the tools and resources needed to have a strong, Christ-centered marriage.
- Marriages are a gift from God (Genesis 2:20-24, Proverbs 18:22)
- Marriages are a reflection of the Gospel (Ephesians 5:22-32)
- In order to thrive, marriages need to be cared for and nourished (Ephesians 5:25, Ephesians 5:33, Colossians 3:18-19, Matthew 19:5)
- A strong marriage is essential for family discipleship (Ephesians 6:1-4, Colossians 3:20-21)

The Drift
How do marriages get to the point of crisis? Is it something that suddenly happens overnight? Watch the below video for some insights:
- We are teaming up with Grace Marriage stop the marriage drift in the marriages at August Gate.
The Sessions
What can I expect?
We will meet four times per year on Saturday mornings, and go over six lessons per day. Think of this as a marriage retreat that will happen four times per year. It is very important to make each of these sessions a top priority.
When?
Saturday mornings from 8am to 12pm on January 24th, April, July, October
Where?
August Gate Church
Will there be childcare?
Yes.
What if I miss a session?
We highly encourage you to make each session and prioritize your marriage over kids activities. If there is an emergency where you cannot make it, we will have catch up options for you. Please reach out to your facilitator to go over the options.
What is the cost?
$189 per couple. When you break it down, that's about the cost of just a few date nights. You will get 2 beautifully crafted leather-style journals with all of your worksheets for the year. You’ll get exclusive access to the Grace Marriage journal experience website with bonus materials and digital resource toolbox.
If you’re wondering whether this fits into your budget, we encourage you to take a thoughtful look at your finances and consider finding the resources to prioritize your marriage.

How can I bless other couples?
If you’ve previously invested in things like marriage counseling or conferences and understand the cost, and if you have the means, consider blessing another couple by helping cover their investment—especially those who may not be able to afford it right now.
