At FamilyLife Canada, our heart is to help every marriage and family thrive. On this page, you’ll find marriage and family resources to encourage you on your journey, including life-changing experiences, trusted tools, and a growing network of churches and HomeBuilders who walk alongside couples and families across Canada.
From inspiring getaways to accessible workshops, these experiences help couples reconnect, grow, and thrive together.
The Weekend Getaway Marriage Conference is a time for couples to relax, reconnect, and renew their relationship. Hosted at beautiful destinations across Canada, these events offer biblically grounded teaching, practical tools, and meaningful time together. Many churches choose to bring a group of couples, finding that shared experiences deepen both marriages and community. See group rates.
Together for Good helps couples navigate differences, prevent drift, and build a relationship that lasts. This five-session, video-on-demand workshop can be run by churches as a one-day event, weekend retreat, or small group series. Couples can also rent the series for home use. Rooted in biblical truth and practical teaching, it equips couples to grow closer and stay together for good.
Starting Marriage Strong is a fun, interactive online course that helps couples explore marriage with wisdom, hope, and practical communication tools before the big day. Designed to complement, not replace, the great work churches already do to prepare couples for marriage, this course invites engaged and newly married couples to start their lifelong journey on a strong foundation of faith and connection.
The Confident Parent Series provides practical, grace-filled guidance for parents navigating today’s parenting challenges. Through short podcasts, video workshops, and articles, parents can find encouragement on their own or gather with others using the free Parent Huddle Kit, complete with video access, discussion guides, and facilitator tools. Designed to strengthen families and equip churches, this series helps parents grow in confidence and faith as they raise the children God has entrusted to them.
It’s our mission to help you strengthen the marriages and families in your church and community! We do this by partnering with churches and HomeBuilders (ministry-minded volunteers) who share our heart to strengthen relationships.
The Marriage Ministry Workshop is a free, three-hour interactive experience that equips pastors, ministry leaders, and volunteers to build thriving marriage and family ministries within their churches. Offered online or in person, the workshop unpacks key principles for creating a culture that supports healthy relationships and provides tools to engage couples and equip leaders. Church teams leave with a custom ministry roadmap aligned with their mission and values, ready to launch new initiatives or strengthen what already exists.
Our staff team across Canada loves to connect with pastors, ministry leaders, and volunteers to strengthen marriages and families in every community. Through free coaching, we come alongside you to listen, pray, and help you take practical next steps toward a thriving marriage and family ministry. Whether you are just getting started or looking to expand an existing ministry, our team is here to encourage you, share ideas, and provide proven tools and resources. Together, we can help you develop a plan that fits your church’s unique vision and context, so more couples and families can experience the help and hope of Jesus.
The Marriage Mentoring Initiative equips experienced couples to walk alongside those newer in their marriage journey, fostering connection and growth through intentional conversation and care. After completing a half-day training, mentor couples use the Marriage Mentoring Guide to lead 13 guided discussions over the course of a year. Designed for churches of any size, this initiative builds stronger marriages, deepens community, and helps couples experience the hope and transformation that come from walking together.
In Canada’s rich cultural mosaic, strong marriages and families are needed in every community. That’s why we’ve launched dedicated ministries to serve couples in their heart language and cultural context. Through trusted relationships and tailored resources, we’re walking alongside families in French, Indigenous, Chinese, and Korean communities-and this is just the beginning. We’d love to explore new partnerships to bless even more.
