Churches

We believe the local church is much stronger with healthy, thriving marriages. Bridge Builders Marriage Ministry partners with local churches to provide couples with biblically-based teaching and everyday tools they can use to bring growth and even restoration in their marriage.

Counseling

Certified life and marriage coaches, Steven and Melisa help couples discover God’s design for marriage, effective strategies for conflict resolution, and ways to improve communication between family members. Their personal experience as a blended family gives them unique insight into the challenges that come with remarriages.

Conferences

Through regular women’s conferences, Melisa shares her passion to see women fulfill their God-given purpose, plan, and destiny. Sound biblical teaching, humor, and transparency give women the opportunity to learn more about themselves and a personal, vibrant relationship with God.

Testimonials

“We needed help! Our marriage of 11 years was hanging in the balance and we kept repeating the same patterns of behavior over and over. We decided to try meeting with Steven and Melisa from Bridge Builder Marriage Ministry. From the very first appointment, our thinking began to change. They taught us how to communicate with one another and develop a more Christ-centered marriage.”

-Jerry and Tina

“During a very difficult season in my life, Bridge Builder Marriage Ministry was a blessing. My Life-Coach helped me stay on track and look ahead to all that God has for my future. Learning to practice Metacognition (think what you are thinking about) was vital to my being able to keep my eyes on Jesus and move ahead, not letting my circumstances control my attitude. Thank you Bridge Builders!”
