Dare To Kneel is a project of Developing Great Relationships. At DGR, our top priority is helping couples embody the joyful servanthood of Jesus Christ. For over 15 years, we've guided more than 800 couples in shaping their marriages according to His design. The impact? Life-changing.


Our History

Developing Great Relationships (DGR) first launched in 2009 when our founder, Stan Vermeer, acted upon his passion to help Christian marriages thrive. Ever since, DGR has helped couples rekindle their love for Christ and one another through Bible-based seminars. We are located in the historic Strawtown Inn of Pella, IA, where guests enjoy its old-world charm alongside the cheerful service of our team.
