Shipmates is designed for young married couples with a combined age below 70 years. This thriving ministry recognizes the needs and questions facing young married couples today and offers practical, Biblical solutions to real-life questions. With God's Word as the foundation for raising our families, we can better understand the trials that we face daily. Couples can enjoy a non-threatening informal environment and a time of interaction with other couples facing similar struggles.

This class has helped couples contend with everyday battles that we all face sooner or later, obstacles like anger, guilt, depression, or fear and how to have the "victory". We also recognize the need for Christian fellowship and encourage new couples to join us. Some of our most recent fellowships have included: Fellowship at the Lake, Family Apple Picking & Hay Ride, Wiener Roast in late October, Christmas Caroling at a Nursing Home, "Servant's Heart Fellowship" encouraging others with home baked goods, and a very special romantic night for our couples at "Café Amore". Most fellowships are designed for family enrichment while some are service oriented as a time to minister to others.
