From November 6–8, 2026, AEC Relationship Ministries hosted Rekindle, a Built 2 Last Marriage Conference, at the Ronald E. Powell Convention Center in Ocean City, Maryland. Thirty-six couples gathered for a weekend focused on reconnecting, restoring, and renewing their relationships.
The conference featured a lineup of speakers, including relationship consultants Oliver and Denise Marcel; therapist and speaker Shari Loveday; Pastor/Chaplain/Author Jason O’Rourke; and Pastor/Therapist John Coaxum. Each brought their own expertise and perspective to help couples strengthen the foundation of their marriages.
In addition, couples experienced a therapist roundtable where they could ask questions from a panel of therapists and an intimate vow renewal ceremony where couples recommitted themselves to each other and God. They were also able to have professional photos taken.
