About AMI
Arkansas has consistently had one of the nation’s highest divorce rates. Behind every divorce are devastating effects impacting every home, child, and neighborhood.
The problems we face are too big for any one church to solve. But together, we can restore marriage in Arkansas.
We believe healthy marriages make everything better. Data proves it. Married couples are happier and wealthier. Children thrive, and communities flourish.
The Arkansas Marriage Initiative unites churches to increase healthy marriages in our state by helping churches build a “family-first” marriage culture in their congregations.
Join us in addressing the challenges families face and strengthening marriages in every community. Schedule a call with an AMI Coach today to get the support you need to rewrite the marriage story in your community.
