The NEO NAME Center at Miami 1st Assembly of God provides Biblical counseling to married couples and couples preparing for marriage.  Led by Darrell & Kathey Wyrick, this ministry is provided by couples trained and certified by the National Association of Marriage Enhancement to scripturally mentor other couples. 

1st Assembly realizes that there is an answer to a serious problem -- the breakdown of the family. Homes are being reunited, marriages are being restored, and children are being spared the terrible ravages of divorce. NAME Centers are springing up all over the nation to fill this huge need created by broken homes and generational vices.
