This weekend class is open to everyone — single, engaged or married — and is required of anyone getting married at Grace.
 

REGISTER

The Apostle Paul said he hoped that his ministry to the Gentiles would cause some of his fellow Jews to become jealous enough that they, too, would accept Jesus Christ. In the same way, we hope to help couples develop such strong marriages that their neigbhors get jealous, ask about their secret to marriage and come to Christ!

This weekend seminar is open to all, but required for anyone wanting to be married at Grace or by a Grace pastor.  Learn practical principles to get your marriage off to a solid start.  Learn to resolve conflict, communicate better, handle finances and more.  You'll enjoy these classes whether you are engaged, married or simply dating.

We devote an intense weekend to learning new skills and refreshing old ones to prepare engaged couples for a lifetime of happily ever after. So what do we talk about all weekend? Some of the topics we discuss include:

• Adopt the attitudes of life-long lovers
• Conquer conflict
• Communicate like counselors
• Add fire to your finances
• and more!

There are different stages that most marriages go through. Do you know what to expect when you have your first child? When your child moves out? The Premarital Class teaches people the signs to look for as couples enter each new stage of marriage and life.
