The SLC “Thriving Couples” Ministry is a discipleship group for couples whether dating or married. The vision we have for this ministry is that the couples who attend would learn to thrive and not just survive in their marriage or relationship. Often times we feel like we need to keep quiet about our struggles as couples (ie. financial struggles, jealousy, lack of communication, previous failures/trauma) but we’d be surprised to find out how many other couples may be fighting similar battles! Our “Thriving Couples” nights usually consist of a passage or topic from the Bible regarding marriage/love with a discussion following. It’s an environment for vulnerability and accountability. No one should ever feel like they have to figure out their relationship problems on their own so this ministry is perfect for anyone willing to learn about the love of God and in turn; how we can demonstrate that same love to our spouses. Married or dating, we would love to hear about it all and want to offer our ears to hear and hearts to sow God’s love, support, and truth into your relationship. ​

Justin & Julie Corona

have been leading our couple’s ministry for 2 years. They’ve been married for 6 years and have a 6 year old son. They love helping with events, mentoring youth, enjoying and playing worship music, and disciplining other families and couples. Justin and Julie value fellowship, servant-hood, and creativity. They’ve had their share of trials and victories so they aspire to provide hope for other couples that are facing their own battles. They believe a Godly marriage is a solid foundation for a family and can thrive immensely with good counsel, accountability, and the word of God. A support system is vital in any relationship whether dating or married. Justin and Julie look forward to getting to know other couples through double dates and monthly “Thriving Couples” discipleship nights. They are open to new friendships and hope to be approachable for any couple in need of advice or encouragement.
