If you are married 3 years or less, this small group is for you! We are excited to have you join us every 1st and 3rd Sunday starting February 4th, 2024, at 10:45am in Classroom "A". We will be meeting for fellowship with other newly married couples, have group discussions about God's design for marriage and have the opportunity to ask questions and learn from one another. We will be intentional about what we study together with the goal of building up marriages, creating healthy habits and providing encouragement and accountability in these early, foundational years.
Leaders
Dave & Melissa Norton
We are Dave and Melissa Norton. We are high school sweethearts and celebrated 30 years of marriage this past July. We have 3 adult kids: Zack (27) and his wife Emma living on an Air Force base in Japan, Kayla (24) and her husband Zack living in SCV, attending Crossroads, and Emma Grace (21) also living in SCV, attending Crossroads. We have been members of Crossroads for 10 years and have been serving in the pre-marital ministry for 8 years. We have seen the need for young couples in these early years of marriage to not only develop relationships with other couples in the same season of life, but also with more seasoned couples that they can go to for wisdom, counsel and encouragement. We had the blessing of being part of a newly married Bible study when we were newlyweds and are still lifelong friends with many of those couples. We have encouraged each other in our personal walks with the Lord, in our relationship with our spouse and in our roles as husbands and wives. These are the couples that we have done life with by experiencing the blessings and the trials and everything in between. It is our desire and prayer that this small group be that for you too! We look forward to meeting you and are excited to see how the Lord uses this ministry for you to bond with other couples who are learning and growing in their early years of marriage, as well!
Tyler & Joy Thompson
We are Tyler and Joy Thompson and we have been married for 26 years after meeting over 30 years ago at The Master's College. We have two daughters, Elyse (22) and Lauryn (21). We've been attending Crossroads for about 10 years and we are looking forward to being part of this newlyweds small group. We have a heart for young adults, and we love the idea of coming alongside newly married couples with the intention of encouraging them and building them up as they start their lives together. We know marriage can be hard, but we are also so excited to share that when we put Christ at the center, marriage can be enjoyable and fun! We are eager to meet you and see how the Lord will use this group to encourage you in your marriage.
