Married on Purpose weekend - Nov. 13 & 14

Are you Married on Purpose? Do you want to ignite the passion in your Marriage? Any couple is invited to ask these questions the weekend of Nov. 13-14, at CrossWinds Church.

The speakers for the marriage event are Dr. Mike and Lee Ann Hartwig and Mark and Jody Stevenson. Both couples have years of experience supporting and promoting healthy marriages and will be sharing that with the event’s attendees.

Mike is a nationally-known speaker with specialty in the fields of church ministry and business and was the former Project Director of the Federal Discretionary Grant known as the “Iowa Healthy Marriage Initiative.” It was designed to strengthen at-risk marriages by recruiting and training healthy couples to work with struggling couples. The Hartwigs have also received the following awards:

  • National Service Award
