Beyond Excellence Marriage Ministry
The guiding scriptural basis for the “Beyond Excellence Marriage Ministry” is Ephesians 3:20, 21:
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.” - Ephesians 3:20, 21
We believe that no matter what the current state of your marriage, God can work to take it “exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think”. Quite simply, God wants your marriage to be BEYOND EXCELLENCE.
