PRE-ENGAGEMENT COUNSELING
While most of the content of this page is geared to couples that are already engaged, we also want you to know that if you are in a serious relationship and are considering marriage, we highly recommend pre-engagement counseling. It can be really helpful to sit down with one of our pastors or trained biblical counselors to talk through taking that next step of an engagement. Before getting into the busyness of planning a wedding and having some of the additional pressure that comes with that, it can be very beneficial to have space and time to process through your relationship and ensure that you both are ready to take that next step together. We would be honored to help support in any way that we can! To get started, you will both fill out our PDI. For more info or to request a printable PDI form send a message to our counseling team.
If you are interested in applying for our wedding process, please go to Wedding And Pre-Marital Counseling | The Chapel.
