Marriage Week Sunday.
Marriage Week
Sunday.
Join the 300+ Pastors with one united voice for Marriage on Sunday 13 September – championing God’s design, the hope of the gospel, and redemption in every relationship.
Why this day matters?
We’re inviting 300+ 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, a nationwide campaign championing marriage.
FamilyLife exists to see every home a godly home — a mission that closely reflects the heart of the local church. Together, we envision a shared moment where churches from Cape Reinga to the Bluff speak with one voice, strengthening marriages and impacting their communities.
One Sunday. One message. Nationwide impact.
