Common Questions

• Who is re|engage for?

  Re|engage is for couples who are married. Whether you are looking to reignite your marriage, grow together in oneness, or you're struggling with marital issues like apathy, conflict, poor communication, infidelity, divorce, or separation, re|engage is a safe place to seek growth, community, and transformation by God’s power.

  If you are not married, but seriously dating, engaged, and/or cohabiting, we recommend attending Merge, our premarital ministry.

• What does a typical night at re|engage look like?

  Re|engage meets Thursday nights (September-May) at 6:30PM at The Well Clovis Campus. We will have a pre-registration over summer that will launch in August. If you miss the registration or are on a waitlist, you can begin attending starting in September. When you arrive on Thursday night, you will head into the Student Center (located inside the Coffeehouse) and find an open seat. A typical night at re|engage has a large group and small group format which looks like the following:

  • 6:30PM- Everyone gathers in the Student Center for a large group time. You will hear a testimony from a couple who have experienced victory in their marriage in the midst of trials or a teaching from the re|engage curriculum.

  • 7:00PM- Everyone is dismissed to small groups according to their stage in the re|engage process (see above "What does the process look like" section).

• Is re|engage marriage counseling?

  Re|engage is not a counseling program, and its leaders serve as facilitators, not professional counselors. They, too, are pursuing growth in their own marriages. Every couple in the group is on a shared journey toward greater oneness. We believe that genuine transformation takes place when couples are open and honest in a supportive small group environment, guided by a biblically-based curriculum. It is in this space that God often brings healing, growth, and renewed hope.

• Do you provide Kids Ministry?

  Yes, our Kids Ministry provides a safe and fun place for children 6 weeks to 6th grade called TRAINING GROUND to connect them to other kids and leaders. Training Ground is here to partner with parents.

  • There is an additional cost of $15 per child, for the entire semester. You must register for this separately. Once you register for re|engage, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to register your children. Space is limited.
  • When you arrive, you can find the kids check-in in the Kids Building. There will be Training Ground staff available to help if needed. Please arrive early to allow time for check-in before large group. All children must be picked up by 8:30PM.

• What commitment do I have to make?

  If you are ready to commit now, we encourage you to register for our August launch (see commitment below). If you are not ready to commit and would like to learn more about the re|engage process, we encourage you to attend any Thursday night (September-May). 

  Your commitment begins once you start a Closed Group which includes:

  • Consistent attendance to Large Group and Closed Group
  • Weekly bookwork (3-5 questions a week and discussion with spouse)
  • Active participation in Closed Group
  • Encouraged: Two off-night gatherings (Saturday or Sunday) with Closed Group. First is a social where you can bond and get to know your group more. Second, is to share Life Maps. You will learn more about this in your Closed Group time.
    

• How long is the process?

  This can vary depending on when you start. Typically it can take 4-6 months. We hope that you will see this time as an investment in your marriage to grow in the oneness that Christ desires for you. 

• Does my spouse need to attend with me?

  If your spouse is unable or unwilling to attend, you will not be able to register for a Closed Group, but you are welcome to attend on your own for a time during our open session (September-May). However, both husband and wife must be committed to the re|engage process in order to proceed to a Closed Group. If you are in need of some personal help we can share other opportunities for individual help with your marriage. Contact the Marriage Ministry Office.
