It is Double Edged's mission to communicate the Biblical view that marriage is ordained by God and that when we marry, we wnter into a binding covenant with each other-with God at the very center of that agreement. It is our desire to effectively demonstrate through conferences, one-on-one counseling for marriages in crisis, and small group gatherings what the Lord has conveyed to us regarding His heart concerning the spiritual, emotional and sexual aspects of the most significat human relationship on Earth.
It is our vision to see Garden Community Church and beyond experience God's unique and abundant design for marriage!
Marriage Is God's Idea
Marriage Is God's By Design
Marriage Is Designed to Work!

Weddings at The Garden
Our concern, is to foster lasting marital unions. God has established and sanctified marriage, having created marriage for one man and one woman for life. We believe that is is our responsibility to encourage couples to set aside time for marriage preparation instead of concentrating solely on the wedding plans. In order to establish and nurture healthy marriages, we will endeavor to effectively prepare and support those who come to us seeking to be married. Therefore, we will require every engaged couple to participate in the following elements for those wishing to be married by a pastor at the Garden Community Church:
- Pre-Marital Group - a 6 week class offered 3 times a year. This is a 6-week study focusing on the Loving on Purpose teachings by Danny and Sheri Silk.
- 3 Additional Pre-Marital meeting with the Pastor performing your ceremony or other qualified counselor.
- Each couple is encouraged to regularly attend and participate in church during the process of preparation for marriage.
Please contact the Directors of Marriage Ministries, Paul and Kristen Stubblefield, if you have any questions or would like to schedule Pre-Marital Group.
Dates for Pre-Marital Classes:
October 4th , 11th, 18, 25th, Nov 1st and 8th (2009)
