Premarriage Counseling
Foothills’ Premarital Process
We’re excited that you are considering engagement and/or marriage. We’d love to help you get God’s perspective on your relationship and help you prepare for your marriage. Just follow the steps below. Contact Michell Cook if you have any questions. You do not need to attend Foothills or be a member.
Phase 1: 8 Week Premarital Class
Our Premarital Class is for engaged or dating couples. It’s an introduction to the biblical foundations of marriage plus we’ll address the common problems that most couples face: communication, conflict, finances, intimacy, etc. The class is half lecture, then group discussion facilitated by a married mentor couple.
Sundays from 9am to 10:30am
WINTER SESSION: January 29; February 5, 12, 26; March 4, 11, 18
SPRING SESSION: April 1, 15, 22, 29; May 6, 20, 27; Jun 3
SUMMER SESSION: June 10, 17, 24; July 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
FALL SESSION: September 23, 30; October 7, 14, 21, 28; November 4, 11
Phase 2: Two-on-two Mentoring
This is for engaged couples only. (You’ll need to complete Phase 1 before you begin Phase 2.) You meet four to six times with either a staff member or a trained, mature mentor couple. You’ll complete a relational inventory that helps you see the potential strengths and growth areas in your relationship. The counselor will walk you through any issues raised and make sure you have a realistic, encouraging handle on things before you begin married life together.
