Description
In “Marriage is Ministry: Strengthening Communities Through Healthy Relationships,” Dr. Alena Crawley reframes relational health as essential infrastructure for Christian Community Development. Drawing from research on marital resiliency, ministry experience, and practical application, she explores how healthy marriages and family systems function to sustain leaders, congregations, and communities. Participants will engage practical tools to assess relational health, strengthen relational communication, and cultivate cultures of positive relational experiences in their local contexts. This workshop equips practitioners to view marriage not as a private concern, but as a strategic foundation for long-term community building and stability.
