The Marriage & Relationship Education Center is a 50l (c)(3) faith-based organization established in 2004 and is located in the Carroll Non Profit Center in Westminster. We are dedicated to improving the lives of children in our community by strengthening families through marriage and relationship education, partnerships and public awareness efforts.

As an organization, MREC works with a proactive, educational approach through classes that teach skills necessary for couples to deal with conflict while better understanding their mate. 

In addition, MREC encourages couples and individuals through awareness efforts to have positive connections/ experiences and make healthy life decisions.  

To maximize our impact, MREC staff is certified in many curriculums to train other key individuals/churches as teachers.  This knowledge sharing creates a ripple effect of healthy relationship skills and strengthens families in our community.

Our Founders - Retired Carroll County Public School educators, Bill and Anne McKenna, have been married 53 years. They have four children and 12 grandchildren. Bill spent over 30 years teaching, coaching, and as an athletic director. The McKennas are certified in multiple marriage education programs.  They started their work in marriage education by developing a marriage ministry in their local church. As the word spread to other churches, they decided, with the encouragement of the local ministerium, to form an independent organization that utilized a proactive approach to strengthening families.

The Marriage & Relationship Education Center (formally known as Marriage Resource Center) was founded in November of 2004 and gained 501(c)3 status in December, 2006.
