Our Story
We are Lee and Sandra Sappington and have been married for over 38 years. We live in Murrieta, CA and have 4 daughters. We've been in the marriage ministry for over 25 years. Through our own trials and difficult times, we have learned through God and His word how to overcome difficulties and maintain a healthy marriage. Our marriage is not perfect, but we have learned over the years, the proper tools to work through and enhance our relationship. We believe that if God can heal our marriage he can heal anyone’s marriage. We are certified biblical counselors along with 25 years of counseling experience. We provide a unique teaching experience that is real and applicable to helping marriages strengthen and be healthy. We provide visual, easy to understand curriculum, and hands on application exercises through all our classes, workshops, conferences, and retreats.
We believe community is important to support and encourage one another.
Through the building up of marriages we are protecting the value of family.
