Never Alone Marriage Conference

NOW & ALWAYS
MARRIAGE RETREAT

February 6-8, 2026

A Weekend to Strengthen Your Marriage

The Peace Church Marriage Retreat, “Now and Always,” is a weekend designed to encourage married couples in their walks with Christ and to be the husband or wife God calls them to be.

Held February 6–8, 2026, at Maranatha Bible & Missionary Conference in Norton Shores, MI, the retreat includes main sessions led by Peace Church pastors, breakout discussions, worship, entertainment by Pop Scholars, and an optional pickleball tournament. Inspired by the hymn “Be Thou My Vision,” the theme emphasizes God’s enduring presence in marriage.

Early bird registration is $375 (Sept 9–Oct 13), standard pricing is $425 (Oct 14–Jan 23), and late registration is $475 (Jan 24–Feb 6).

Keynote Speakers

“Now and Always” is a lyric in the old hymn “Be Thou My Vision,” and it is a phrase that reminds us of our marriage vows but it is also a reminder that our God is our God and we are his, now and always.
