A nationwide opportunity for the Church to speak hope into homes.
We’re inviting 200+ pastors to commit to preaching a practical, gospel-centred message on marriage on Sunday 13 September 2026 – the opening day of Marriage Week New Zealand.
When you join the 200 Pastor Network, you become part of a collective movement to see marriages strengthened, families restored, and communities transformed.

Sunday 13 September 2026
Why this day matters?
Strong marriages form strong families. Strong families shape strong communities. FamilyLife exists to see every home a godly home – a mission that overlaps deeply with the heart of the local church.
Marriage Week NZ, 13-19 September 2026, creates a shared moment where churches across the nation speak with one voice about God’s design for marriage, the hope of the gospel, and the possibility of growth and redemption in every relationship.
