Marriage and Relationship Education Center


Marriage and Relationship Education Center

255 CLIFTON BLVD, SUITE 213

WESTMINSTER, MD, 21157UNITED STATES

410-386-9003



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.

Happy Holidays from The Marriage Resource Center of Carroll County


Happy Holidays from The Marriage Resource Center of Carroll County

Dear Friends of MRC,

Can you believe it's almost the end of 2011? Another year has passed us by so quickly.   As we here at The Marriage Resource Center are making many exciting plans for 2012, (Celebrate Marriage, a No Jerks/Jerkettes training, a mentor training, the new Best Love Project, Make It Last, and more) we would like you to take a minute to consider an end-of-year donation to MRC.

Marriages are stronger, parents are encouraged, fathers are spending more time with their children, and youth and singles are making better choices because of our work.

Our 2012 commitment to you, your families and our community is to be Champions For Children and we need an army of people who want invest in this commitment.

If you haven't had a chance to contribute regularly, need to catch up on your giving or want to give in honor of someone at this special time of year, please prayerfully consider giving something extra to MRC.  You may go to www.marriageresourceccc.org to donate online. And of course, we still welcome the traditional check made payable to Marriage Resource Center, 255 Clifton Boulevard, Suite 213, Westminster, MD 21157.

We hope that this Christmas and holiday season holds many blessings for you, our gracious supporters. It has been our pleasure to serve you this past year.


The Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers of The Marriage Resource Center
