About Us

Our Mission

“Changing the community, one couple at a time”

We are a faith and grace-based ministry dedicated to preparing couples for remarriage and strengthening and vitalizing existing marriages and stepfamilies.
We acknowledge and proclaim the most vital connection in our lives is our relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Don and Kathy Coryell have experienced the pain, disappointment and loss of divorce from previous marriages. They became a “creative connection” in 1999, Don with three children, Kathy with four. Though they both attended various relationship classes at church, including a premarital class, they found nothing adequately prepared them for the realities of living in a stepfamily.
Their experience has given them a desire to help others facing stepfamily issues, whether single, engaged or married, thus the birth of Creative Connections Ministry.
