We believe couples deserve to experience a UME Weekend regardless of their ability to pay.
Annual marriage builders are the lifeblood of ume.
Our vision at United Marriage Encounter (UME) is to start a transformation in one man, one woman marriages that leads to stronger Christian families and stronger Christian communities.
Weekend attendees are encouraged to “pay it forward,” giving another couple the opportunity to attend a weekend in their place. But some cannot.
Annual Marriage Builders bridge the gap. They generously provide ongoing financial support enabling couples the opportunity to attend a Weekend regardless of their ability to pay.

It’s Biblical: “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2 NIV
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
Luke 6:38 NIV
