Our Values
At the heart of Coupled With Christ Ministries is a deep commitment to helping families experience the fullness of God’s love and wisdom in their relationships. We are passionate about building Christ-centered relationships that reflect God’s love, wisdom, and design for marriage and families. We exist to walk alongside couples and families in every season of life, providing guidance, encouragement, and support rooted in Scripture. Our values serve as a compass for everything we do – shaping how we teach, serve, and care for the families entrusted to us.
Accountability
Accountability is our commitment to live, lead, and serve with integrity before God and one another. We do not walk alone. As followers of Jesus, we submit ourselves to God first and then to one another in humility, trusting that loving accountability brings maturity, wisdom, and spiritual health. We believe spiritual growth flourishes in honest relationships where believers lovingly encourage, correct, and support each other according to God’s Word. We take responsibility for our actions, steward our callings and resources faithfully, and remain open to counsel, knowing that accountability protects our witness and strengthens the body of Christ.
“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
- James 5:16 (NIV)
Biblical Truth
God’s Word is our ultimate authority. Biblical truth is our commitment to center all teaching, decisions, and ministry practices on the unchanging Word of God. We believe the Scriptures are God-breathed, fully trustworthy, and sufficient to guide our faith and conduct. Biblical truth calls us to live authentically, teach faithfully, and uphold God’s standards with love and integrity. It equips us to discern, shepherd, and serve effectively, always pointing people to Jesus. By grounding our ministry in Biblical truth, we provide clarity, wisdom, and spiritual nourishment for every individual that we partner with.
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
- 2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)
Education
Education is our commitment to lifelong learning that deepens our understanding of God, His Word, and His will for our lives. We believe that spiritual growth is strengthened through intentional teaching, discipleship, and the pursuit of wisdom guided by the Holy Spirit. Education in our ministry is not merely the gaining of knowledge, but the transformation of the heart and mind. As we grow in understanding, we are better prepared to serve others, make wise decisions, and faithfully carry out our mission of serving families.
“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.”
- Proverbs 4:13 (NIV)
Empathy
Empathy is our commitment to reflect the heart of Christ by genuinely caring for others, seeking to understand their experiences, and responding with compassion. We believe that empathy allows us to love people where they are, ministering with sensitivity, patience, and mercy. Through empathy, we create a safe and welcoming community where people feel seen, heard, and valued. We listen attentively, respond prayerfully, and serve selflessly, trusting the Holy Spirit to guide us in meeting both spiritual and practical needs.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”
- Romans 12:15 (NIV)
Grace
We believe grace is God’s unmerited favor – freely given through Jesus Christ – bringing forgiveness, restoration, and new life. Because we have received grace, we are called to extend grace to others with humility, patience, and love. Grace creates a culture where people are welcomed, transformed, and empowered to grow, not through perfection, but through God’s redeeming love. We seek to be a ministry offering hope, healing, and second chances to all.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,”
- Ephesians 2:8 (ESV)
Humility
Humility is our commitment to follow the example of Jesus by serving others with a gentle and teachable spirit. We recognize that everything we have comes from God, and we depend on Him fully rather than on our own strength or status. In humility, we lead with servanthood, listen before we speak, and remain open to correction and growth. We believe God works powerfully through humble hearts, bringing unity, spiritual maturity, and lasting impact to His church.
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,”
- Philippians 2:3 (NIV)
Love
Love is the greatest command of Christ and the defining mark of our ministry. We believe love is more than a feeling – it is a selfless, sacrificial commitment to seek the good of others. Grounded in God’s love for us, we strive to love people unconditionally, reflecting the heart of Jesus in our words, actions, and relationships. Love compels us to serve, forgive, and extend grace. Everything we do flows from love and points back to the love of God revealed through Jesus Christ.
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
- John 13:34 (KJV)
Respect
Respect is our commitment to honor God by valuing every person as created in His image. We believe respect is demonstrated through our words, actions, and attitudes – treating others with dignity, kindness, and fairness. In a spirit of Christ-like love, we seek to build relationships marked by mutual honor, peace, and understanding. Respect guides how we communicate, serve, and lead. It calls us to listen well, speak truth with grace, and foster a culture where differences are handled with wisdom and love.
“Respect everyone, and love the family of believers. Fear God, and respect the king.”
- 1 Peter 2:17 (NLT)
Transparency
Transparency is our commitment to live and minister with honesty, openness, and integrity before God and one another. We believe transparency builds trust, fosters accountability, and creates space for genuine spiritual and relational growth. Transparency does not mean perfection, but faithfulness. We choose openness in our relationships, leadership, and stewardship, trusting that God works powerfully when His people live truthfully and humbly.
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”
- Proverbs 10:9 (ESV)
Unity
Unity is our commitment to live and serve together as one body in Christ, bound by faith, love, and a shared purpose. We believe unity reflects the heart of God and His design for all relationships, including marital, family, and church relationships, which strengthens the body of Christ as a whole. Though we are diverse in gifts, backgrounds, and roles, we choose to walk together in humility, peace, and mutual love under the lordship of Jesus Christ. Unity does not require uniformity, but harmony – where every person is valued, every gift is honored, and all contributions are used to glorify God. As we remain united in Christ, we foster spiritual growth, nurture healthy relationships, and promote reconciliation, ensuring that God’s love and truth guide all we do.
“…Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
- Psalm 133:1 (KJV)
