Testimonials
~ Josh and Michele
“My wife and I saw Mitch and Lisa for the first time in March 2022, at time that was very difficult for us. Since that initial meeting with them, they have become such a key part of our lives. They truly treat us like family, and they are always open to hear about us and our victories. They are true professionals of their work because they make it personal in way that true results can be seen. My wife and I see them as our “parents” in our faith because that faith was nearly non-existent in our marriage back then but now it is our center. Now we have made the shift of being “clients” of theirs to being a couple who loves being in their presence. We pray that you consider Mitch and Lisa to assist you in whatever your circumstance is and they will not disappoint you.” - Damario P.

A thought to ponder…
“The downfall of all great empires was the breakdown of the family. “
~ Baker College, Flint, MI, Sociology Professor
The Bible is clear about our personal relationship with God, the sanctity of marriage, and the instructions regarding parenting. If we live life with God’s priorities, we are individuals living for Christ, our marriages are Christ-centered, and our children are raised to be in right relationship with Jesus.
“So that with one accord you may with one voice glorify and praise and honor the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” ~ Romans 15:6
