A Trusted Partner For Your Church: Make Premarital & Marriage Ministry Turnkey with RGA
Faith-honoring, relationship-growth training you can trust, delivered by David & Victoria Glass.
Our Mission
At Relationship Growth Academy, we believe one healthy marriage has the power to change generations. When couples surrender to Christ, pursue healing, understand one another, and intentionally build a Christ-centered home, the impact reaches far beyond their own lifetime.
Let us help you carry it forward. We bring the teaching, tools, and support; you shepherd your people.
Our approach is personal. Our tools are simple. Our mission is clear: help couples build healthy marriages and lasting family legacies.
“By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established.”
— Proverbs 24:3

Why Partner with David & Victoria
Seasoned guides, not just curriculum.
For nearly 30 years, the Glasses have mentored couples and led small groups and conferences. They’ve raised one son and fostered more than 20 children, so their training is forged in real life, not just on paper.
Faith-based classes to create strong marriages.
We blend biblical wisdom with relationship growth tools to give couples a shared language for stress, needs, and decision-making, without jargon. It lowers conflict, increases empathy, and turns “we don’t get each other” into “we’ve got this.”
Turnkey, pastoral-friendly delivery.
We handle teaching, facilitation, guidance on materials, and simple follow-ups. You provide a space (or Zoom) and a point person. Net result: less pastoral load, more life change.
Shepherd hearts, servant posture.
We lead with humility, warmth, and hope, offering clear next steps and care pathways to return to your ministries.
More than a single program.
We bring trusted resources together into a comprehensive relationship growth ministry shaped around the needs of your couples and church.
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
— Ephesians 4:2–3

Our Ministry Philosophy
We believe the local church is God’s plan for shepherding His people. Relationship Growth Academy exists to come alongside your church with trusted, Christ-centered relationship education that equips couples while honoring your leadership and ministry.
We teach from a Christian worldview while welcoming all. We focus on biblical wisdom, practical skills, and compassion for every couple’s story, because no two couples are the same, and every home can grow stronger with the right tools and support.
“Love is patient and kind… it does not insist on its own way… it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
— 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 (excerpt)
