The Relationship Fitness Centre ®

Why settle for “surviving” when you could be thriving?

The Couples’ Ministry at FAC supports couples proactively, encouraging and equipping you to pursue a thriving, life-long, God-honouring marriage. The Relationship Fitness Centre® offers relationship opportunities and resources to help grow and strengthen your relationship even before you encounter challenges – whether you’re seriously dating, engaged and planning to get married, looking for marriage enrichment – or support if you’re in a marriage crisis.

FAC and The Relationship Fitness Centre® are co-founders of The Calgary Marriage Network (YYCMN).  We’re happy to let you know when any of the above classes and resources are being offered somewhere else in the city when our classes become full or end for the season here at FAC.

Need additional support in your marriage? Although our Couples’ Ministry is unable to provide counseling, we can offer couples an appointment with a Congregational Care Pastor who can provide biblical principles and pastoral care for your marriage, and recommend next steps for continued community and support. If you’re interested in making an appointment, please contact Anne Freeman afreeman@faccalgary.com / 403-258-8290.
