Our Mission
Communio is a nonprofit ministry that trains and equips churches to share the Gospel through the renewal of healthy relationships, marriages, and the family.
The Heart of Communio
Communio’s shared goal with a church is Christ-centered. Our objective is to help you bring more souls to Jesus Christ by evangelizing and discipling relationships and marriages. Marriage has been central to God’s plan for humanity from the beginning. Communio serves you to make marriage central to your church.
Communio is not another program. Rather, we equip your church with a proven strategic framework, 21st-century data tools, and a ministry game plan that helps you put members of your church – and those in your surrounding community – onto a growth journey toward healthier and holier relationships.
Communio helps you and your leadership team select, promote, and run large, attractional community outreach events that flow people into ongoing engagement, and ultimately into skill-based relationship ministry.
The end result: your church is equipped to run a Data-Informed, Full-Circle Relationship Ministry® that strengthens marriages, grows your church, increases faith in Jesus, and transforms your community.
Full-Circle Relationship Ministry® Model in Action
Communio partners with churches across all Christian faith traditions to build out Data-Informed, Full-Circle Relationship Ministries®. Every partnership starts with a comprehensive diagnostic of the relationship health quality of the church – and the community. That data informs the development of a ministry strategy.

An Actionable Ministry Framework
Ministry Engagement Ladder®
The Ministry Engagement Ladder® animates the Full-Circle Relationship Ministry. It serves as the strategic framework that helps your church build and implement a multi-step journey toward greater relationship health for existing church members and those in the surrounding community.
Growth Journey

Small or large group gatherings where relationship skills are delivered and applied.
Ongoing Engagement

Invitation
Communio equips your church to run targeted, multi-channel marketing campaigns to invite your community to your Outreach Events.
When each of these elements are functioning in tandem, healthy dating, marriage, and family decisions become the cultural norm of the church. It also ensures that people who enter the church for the first time, regardless of their romantic life stage, have a clear path for improving their relationship health and deepening their involvement in the life of the church.
What is a Full-Circle Relationship Ministry®?
This means your church provides vision, community, and skills to individuals at each stage of a relationship – leveraging 21st century tools of predictive analytics and microtargeting to reach out to those in your community most likely in need of help. We then help you select from a catalog of the nation’s leading publishers within relationship ministry to curate the most effective approaches for your membership and community.
