Re|engage is currently on break until January 2025. Please visit Mission Bible Church’s Re|engage website page for information on groups meeting in 2024. 

Every marriage has room for improvement. Re|engage gives you a safe place to work on your relationship together, regardless of whether your marriage needs saving or you just want to take it from “good” to “great”.

During this 15-week marriage experience, couples will come together to learn about God’s design for marriage. The group learns how to apply biblical principles like extending grace and forgiveness, embracing humility and growing in intimacy. This group will equip you to build a healthy marriage. 

When and where?

Starting: Tuesday, September 5, 6:30 – 8:30 PM
                  Note: No group on October 31.

Ending: Tuesday, December 19, 6:30 – 8:30 PM

To get the most from this 15 week experience, please commit to attend all sessions and participate in group discussions. If you cannot be there, group dynamics will be impacted. If you know that you will miss more than 2 group meetings, we ask that you consider a different session of re|engage.

Groups will meet at the Minooka Campus. If there is enough interest at the Seneca and Coal City Campuses, groups may be added at those locations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET THERE?

The night starts with everyone meeting together for a game and introduction. Then you’ll break into small groups to dive deeper into understanding how to live a Christ-centered marriage. The discussion will be based on the week’s reading, which is usually 3-4 pages. And we’ll have snacks!

HOW MUCH DOES RE|ENGAGE COST?

$50 per couple is required to cover operating expenses and a workbook for you and your spouse.

Please let us know if the cost may be prohibiting you from investing in your marriage. We’re here to help.

IS THERE CHILDCARE?

Yes! $5 per child weekly / $10 family maximum weekly. Please arrive a few minutes early for the drop-off process.

DO we need to be married? 

Yes. Re|engage is specifically designed for married couples who want to enhance or restore their marriage. This is not for engaged couples, couples living together outside of marriage, or for couples who are dating.

DOES MY SPOUSE NEED TO ATTEND WITH ME?

Yes, your spouse needs to attend with you. This experience is designed for couples to work through together. 

One of us is not a believer in Christ. Can we still participate?

Yes. We see couples where one spouse is a believer, but the other is not or isn’t quite sure. 

While couples who both have a firm foundation with God at the center of their marriage tend to have the most success with re|engage, we have found that all married couples can improve communication and learn how to enrich their marriage through re|engage.

Can same-sex couples attend? 

No. This experience is designed to honor the sacred union between a man and a woman as outlined in the scriptures. Based on our church’s convictions and interpretation of scripture, we believe that marriage is between one man and one woman for a lifelong commitment. 

WHAT DO COUPLES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT RE|ENGAGE AFTER THE EXPERIENCE?

We cannot say enough about this experience; it truly changed our lives and marriage. Before re|engage, we were struggling. We had so much love, but couldn’t figure things out. God showered us with blessings throughout re|engage. Bible-based strategies and tremendous support from our group put us on a path to freedom. This experience is unmatched. Thankful for all we learned and the new friends we made. God is SO GOOD! – Sarah & Chuy
