healthy marriage.

Purposeful
Grace Marriage is designed to enrich, protect, and grow marriages.
Nurturing
Marriage ministry is an intentional commitment to grow in your relatonship with each other
and the Lord.
Consistent
Once a month husbands and wives meet with other couples in various stages of life to explore
different aspects of marriage. The sessions are called marriage coaching.
Proactive
Marriage coaching is a proactive approach to re-focus on positives in your relationship. It is not a
place where you will be forced to share your deepest secrets with others.
Grace-Focused
It is a
Biblically-based marriage maintenance model that can revolutionize your relationship. Grace
Marriage is a forum where you and your spouse can learn how to extend grace to each other.
Welcoming
Any married couple may attend whether your marriage is doing great, so-so, or struggling. A
couple does not have to attend or be a member of Grace church to participate.
Meet Our Grace Marriage Ministry Facilitators!
Greg and Elizabeth Pederson have been an integral part of the Gladstone community since 1992, when they moved as newlyweds. They have three grown children, two beautiful daughter-in laws, and a precious grandson that lives in Hawaii. They joined Grace Church in 2000 following the birth of their third child, and their commitment to serving the Lord has been unwavering throughout their marriage. They have devoted themselves to multiple ministries over the years— youth, children's ministry, outreach ministry, leading prayer groups, and facilitating marriage classes.
Elizabeth's dedication to prayer led her to establish a local chapter of Moms in Prayer International, where she spent over two decades supporting Gladstone's school staff and students through prayer. Meanwhile, Greg has served as the regional coordinator for Operation Christmas Child with Samaritan's Purse, coordinating efforts across the Upper Peninsula's 906 area to share the Gospel with children worldwide through gift-filled shoeboxes.
Now, Greg and Elizabeth feel called to strengthen marriages in their community through Grace Marriage. They are passionate about the Grace Marriage approach, where couples will continually Assess, Engage, and Grow – so they’ll know where their marriage is and where to go next
