Your Marriage God’s Way Conference: Building a Christ-Centered Marriage

The Your Marriage God’s Way Conference is a biblical marriage conference for churches designed to help husbands and wives grow in unity, love, and spiritual maturity through the teaching of God’s Word. Led by Pastor Scott LaPierre, this Christ-centered marriage event equips couples with practical, gospel-rooted instruction they can apply immediately in their homes.

Rather than psychology, opinion, or trend-driven content, this conference is firmly rooted in Scripture and delivered with a pastoral heart—supporting the shepherding ministry of the local church.


A Bible-Based Marriage Conference for Churches Seeking Christ-Centered Teaching

Churches invite the Your Marriage God’s Way Conference because it:

✅ reinforces biblical authority
✅ supports pastors and elders in discipling marriages
✅ provides clear, applicable teaching rooted in Scripture
✅ serves couples in every season—engaged, newly married, or seasoned
✅ helps restore, encourage, and strengthen struggling marriages
✅ promotes unity in the home for the glory of Christ

This is not an entertainment-based event—it is biblical marriage discipleship for the local church.

Your Marriage God’s Way is a ministry that exists to serve the local church. We do not charge a commercial conference fee. Instead, we ask hosting churches to provide a suggested honorarium along with travel expenses (airfare or mileage, lodging, and meals) to help support the ministry and cover event costs.

We understand that every church is different, and we are happy to work with congregations of various sizes and situations. If your church has financial limitations, please let us know—our desire is to strengthen marriages, not create a financial burden.

Why we use this model

✅ keeps the conference accessible to churches of all sizes
✅ honors the biblical pattern of supporting those who teach the Word
✅ reinforces that this is ministry—not a commercial event
✅ allows smaller churches to participate
✅ communicates humility and partnership

If you would like specific guidance on honorarium amounts based on church size or format (one-day, weekend, or full conference), we will be glad to discuss it when you reach out.

Hosting churches typically provide

✅ airfare or mileage reimbursement
✅ lodging (hotel or host home, depending on preference)

Conference Endorsements

Scott LaPierre’s Your Marriage God’s Way Conference was a huge blessing to Northwest Bible Church in Oklahoma City. All of Scott’s points were thoroughly backed up with scripture, and he included plenty of personal stories taken from his own marriage with Katie that drove his points home. He was transparent by admitting to his own personal failings, while at the same time giving us a glimpse into what a godly marriage looks like. He showed us how they, as two flawed, but solid Christian believers, give a testimony to the world of Christ and His Church. He also encouraged husbands and wives in our congregation how they may also be examples of Christ and His church to those around us. Scott was very personable and freely visited with attendees during the breaks. My only complaint is that the time flew by so quickly. I would have loved for this to be a week long. Thank you, Scott, for ministering to Oklahoma City with this much needed message.

In February 2023, our church hosted Scott LaPierre’s Your Marriage God’s Way Conference. Scott brought God’s marriage truth to our attendees with passion, conviction and in an engaging presentation. Time went quickly. Too fast. One of our attendees texted me during the conference, “Thanks for arranging this teaching. I arrogantly thought I had heard it all before, but I’m learning A LOT.” The ending Q&A session was the icing on the cake. Whether a single student or adult, an engaged couple, newlyweds or a “seasoned” married couple, this conference will be profitable for you.

As a licensed Christian marriage counselor, I am constantly looking for sound, biblical resources to recommend to my clients who are struggling in their marriages. The Your Marriage God’s Way Conference is by far the best and most heart-changing marriage conference ever! Scott LaPierre teaches in a way that captivates and connects with both husbands and wives. His messages stir hearers while fostering hope and healing, and the principles taught have immediate practical application. I highly recommend Scott as a Christian speaker on marriage.
