Couples Camp is a 48-hour date to rest, laugh, and rediscover the incredible purpose God has for your marriage.

Matt and Lauren Chandler have spent their lives dedicated to the gospel, shepherding people toward deeper intimacy with Jesus and one another.

Matt serves as the Lead Pastor of The Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, where he has preached and led with conviction since 2002. A passionate communicator and teacher, Matt is known for his ability to make deep theological truths accessible and compelling. His ministry extends beyond the pulpit through books, podcasts, and conferences, encouraging believers to embrace the transforming power of the gospel.

Lauren is a gifted writer, speaker, and worship leader with a heart for discipleship. Through her books, Bible studies, and music, she encourages women to trust the Lord in all seasons of life. Her personal journey—marked by faithfulness in both joy and suffering—has made her a voice of wisdom and encouragement to many.

Together, Matt and Lauren have navigated seasons of hardship and grace, including Matt’s battle with brain cancer, which deepened their trust in God’s sovereignty. Their marriage and ministry reflect a commitment to seeing individuals and families flourish through the gospel. They are the proud parents of three children and continue to invest in the local church and the broader Christian community, equipping people to follow Jesus with courage and faithfulness.

THEY SAY IT BEST

Couples’ Experiences

“Couples camp was the best reset button for my marriage. We were inspired and encouraged to be surrounded by so many different couples in all different walks of life, but the common thread amongst everyone was a desire to improve their marriage.”

“It’s safe to say I have never felt more seen, known, and loved by my spouse. This weekend transformed our marriage and I know there is so much good that will continue to come because of this weekend.”

“The gift of time and space and the tools to put the work into our most important relationship was immeasurable. We will reap the benefits for many years to come”

“We treat it as our yearly marriage retreat. We have a weekend-long date, meet new people, laugh, and cry. I don’t think I can point to another single week in our calendar where all four of those happen. We get to do all of those in one weekend at Couples Camp.”

“The combination of focus on your spouse and being “off the grid” while still worshiping together and attending the teachings is an incomparable way of reigniting your marriage.”

AT A GLANCE

Couples Camp is held on over 800 acres of primitive land in Southwest Ohio, just 45 minutes East of Cincinnati. Each year, thousands step on this land and leave with deeper marriages, renewed joy, greater freedom, and powerful encounters with God.
