We believe in the importance of preparing for marriage, not just a wedding. We all enter into relationships with a past, including wounds, victories, our strengths and weaknesses. The goal of premarital counseling is to help you identify possible areas of healing and growth, and walk with you through strengthening weak places so that you can have not only a beautiful wedding, but be prepared for a life-long, strong and faithful marriage.
Marriage is a beautiful gift from God and a sacred covenant that reflects Christ’s love for His Church. It would be our joy to walk alongside you as you prepare for marriage and to celebrate this meaningful moment with you.
There is no required fee for officiating a wedding. However, couples who wish to do so may give a suggested honorarium as a way of expressing appreciation for the pastor’s time in meeting with you, preparing for the ceremony, attending the rehearsal, and officiating your wedding.
If you’re interested in having a NewStory pastor officiate your wedding, fill out the form below and our team will follow up with you.
It is our commitment to build healthy, thriving, Christ-centered marriages at our church. We encourage you to connect with other couples at our church (both those in your season of marriage and beyond) or in your small group to encourage one another to grow in your marriage. If you want to help organize some of the follow-up events with the subgroups or as a whole, please let us know.
