Couples  Equality  information


Who should attend?

Couples Equality conferences are for married Christian couples who are seeking to grow and advance in serving together as one in ministry. Since Couples Equalities builds on the teaching of Encounter conferences, both husband and wife must have previously attended an Encounter to be eligible for a Couples Equality.

 

Please do not fill out an interest form until both Husband and Wife individually attend an Encounter Conference.

 

This is our ongoing interest form for Couples Equality. When a conference is approaching we will reach out by email or text with further information.
