Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming marriage! As you begin to prepare for your wedding day, you may feel overwhelmed by a myriad of things to do. We want to work with you to ensure that the details of your church booking, and more importantly, your marriage preparation are taken care of, so that you can proceed with the other details.
Pre-Marriage Preparation
Not only do we want your wedding day to be wonderful, but we'd like your marriage to be solid and fantastic. NSAC requires that you have pre-marriage mentoring if you are married by one of our pastors and/or use our facilities. Our mentor couples are not trained cousellors but church members who have been married at least five years, have a strong and open marriage relationship, and have been trained in the Home-Based Pre-Marriage Mentoring Program. This program provides an opportunity to discuss important issues that will come up in your marriage - communication, values, conflict and expectations. It is a six to eight week course and we'd like you to complete your mentoring well before your wedding date, where possible. (Or ideally before you get engaged!)
Fill out the "Pre-Marriage Mentoring Application Form" below and submit it to the church office as soon as possible or contact Anne Thicke at 604-984-6422 ext. 235 or annet@nsac.bc.ca for more info. Some seasons are busier than others, so the sooner you apply, the sooner you can begin!
