How We Love Church Group Study

While we know that sin is the root cause of our relational disconnection, it’s not enough to simply label “sin” as the problem and tell people to “love better”—especially if they don’t know how. We can’t have spiritual maturity without emotional security! God designed us to attach to Him and to others in a specific way for relational health. Unless we can clearly identify how our attachment has been disrupted—and learn to love in alignment with God’s design—we will remain stuck in the same painful patterns.

A CHURCH STUDY THAT IMPACTS YOUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY

Our Church Study is created to help people uncover the root of their emotional reactivity in marriage and other relationships. By identifying the underlying patterns that block intimacy, individuals can begin moving toward the connection, harmony, and wholeness God intended.

This study goes far beyond theory. It offers:

And it’s not just for couples! Many people feel alone in their marriages because their spouse is resistant to growth. This study offers support and progress even in those situations for people who are coming alone. It’s also incredibly valuable for singles. When individuals learn to heal their own relational triggers and develop secure attachment patterns, they’re far more likely to choose secure, emotionally mature spouses who will grow alongside them as their marriage evolves.

We provide all the teaching through videos and our Participant workbooks. All you need is a leader willing to keep the group on track. We also provide video trainings to prepare the leader before each session along with a Leader workbook that includes instructions on how to lead discussion and skill building times.

Check out these samples to see the teaching and trainings.

The study can be done in a small group setting in a home—or scaled up for a larger group at church. Check out how Mariners Church in Irvine, California, leads the study for a large adult group.

Don’t just take our word for it, hear some testimonies of the impact of the study.

And for when couples face deeper relational walls—including trauma-related patterns—our online Attachment Core Pattern Therapy™ (ACPT) training equips both professional and lay counselors to walk with them. The training offers practical steps so they can confidently provide skilled, one-on-one support where it’s needed most.
