Thank you for asking for information on the Premarital Counseling Ministry at The Village. We are excited to help you begin your life together on the firm foundation of a Christ-centered marriage.
In our premarital counseling program, engaged couples are paired with an older mentor couple who walk them through our curriculum based on the book and workbook, "When Sinners Say I Do." Engaged couples are assigned on a first-come-first-served basis. You will meet with your mentoring couple for six sessions (usually once a week in their home) for about two hours. The cost for premarital counseling is $22 to The Village Church, plus the purchase of the book and workbook.
Because of the high demand of this ministry, please allow a 5 month wait for the program. Please make sure to register for PMC under the campus that you attend. You can change to the correct campus website by going to the "choose a campus" drop-down menu at the upper right-hand corner of this page and selecting correct campus.
If your wedding date does not allow this 5 month timeframe, you can contact The Center for Christian Counseling at (469) 635-2200.
