Premarital Program

The Premarital Program is designed to help couples who want to confirm their commitment to each other and prepare couples for Christian marriage. If you are planning to be married by a Church of the Saviour pastor, or at the church, you must successfully complete the Premarital Program.

Questions About the Premarital Program?

Who Should Take The Premarital Program?

• Engaged Couples
• Couples who are dating and want to confirm their commitment to each other. This should be undertaken with caution since much of what is covered encourages a committed relationship.

In both cases there must be a committment to Christ, and a demonstration of obedience to this committment.

When should we begin?

If you have been dating and have decided that you want to confirm your commitment to each other it is suggested that you consider taking the classes. If you are engaged we suggest that you should try to complete the program four to six months before the wedding.

What Preparation is Needed?

Prior to the beginning of classes couples must:

• Supply background information.
• Complete the Taylor Johnson & Prepare/Enrich Instruments.

What material is covered in the Premarital Program?

• Biblical foundations and Biblical responsibilities of husband and wife in marriage
• Communication in Marriage
• Financial Stewardship
• Expectations
• Sexuality

As part of the program you will be assigned a mentor couple. Each couple is matched with the best suitable mentors. The two couples will mutually agree on the meeting times which typically take place off of the Church of the Saviour campus. You will meet four to five times with your mentors.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE MARRIED BY A CHURCH OF THE SAVIOUR PASTOR OR USE THE CHURCH  YOU WILL NEED TO:
