THE BRIDGE CHURCH

Marriage   Conference

TOGETHER AT THE TABLE

Sponsored by Marriage Helper

Healthy marriages don’t happen by accident—they take intentionality, grace, and growth. The 2026 Bridge Marriage Conference was full of practical wisdom, honest conversations, encouragement, and a whole lot of fun as we invested in building healthy, Christ-centered marriages.

We were joined by Dr. Joe Beam and Dr. Kimberly Holmes from Marriage Helper. It was an incredible investment into over 150 marriages. The conference included main speaker sessions, breakout sessions, snacks and meals throughout, and time for couples to connect individually.

Main sessions and select breakout sessions are available to view below.
