Welcome to the Your Marriage/Your Family community! We curiously refer to ourselves as “YMYFs” (pronounced “yim yifs”), communicate routinely via email, and meet regularly each Sunday morning at 11:30 AM in room 108 of the Christian Life Center at the Moody Church in downtown Chicago.

When you visit YMYF, you will encounter a large and loving group of married couples who are serious about understanding and obeying God’s Word. Many of us have been married 10 years or less, others quite a few more years than that; many have started a family and some have not. W come from all parts of the Chicago area and represent a variety of church backgrounds, ethnicities, educational backgrounds, and occupations. We range in age mostly from the 20’s to the 50’s (excluding our “aged” mentors/teachers Bob & Linda).

The YMYFs actively help new moms with meals, meet in a variety of small Bible study groups, host family events like monthly fellowship luncheons, family movie nights, apple picking, and holidays celebrations. We also have an annual spring retreat.

God is blessing us with growth numerically and, most importantly, spiritually.

Try us—you’ll like us!
