Our Story

Choose To Stay Ministries is the result of a burden placed in the hearts of its founders, Ty and Jamie Pipkins, to see hurting marriages find hope, healing and restoration in a faith based environment. Just as Nehemiah was grieved and moved to action when he heard the walls of Jerusalem were torn down, this ministry was formed out of a longing to see faith- based marriages Choose To Stay and rebuild the walls of protection around their relationship rather than breaking the covenant made between them and God at the wedding altar.

Speaking from the experience gained from 20 years of marriage, raising three children, and spending almost 20 years in church ministry positions, Ty and Jamie have a passion to encourage, uplift and equip couples to follow Christ’s example of forgiveness and begin the process of reconciliation. In a society that has made it the norm to just pack your bags and find another spouse, there is another choice…. Choose To Stay! Your marriage is worth it!
