Local Church Partnerships
We partner with churches across the Dallas area on premarital coaching, marriage retreats, and ministry training. If your church does not have a marriage ministry, we can help build one — see our church consulting services.
Areas We Serve
In addition to Dallas proper, we serve couples in Highland Park, University Park, Lake Highlands, Lakewood, Oak Cliff, Preston Hollow, North Dallas, and the surrounding DFW communities including Plano, Frisco, Richardson, Garland, Mesquite, and beyond. Our home is near Celina, so the growing towns of Collin County — Frisco, Prosper, McKinney, Allen, Celina and Anna — are close by too. Couples outside DFW can work with us virtually.
