Lay Counselor Application

Premarital Mentoring

Grace Premarital Mentoring is available for couples interested in preparing and equipping for marriage. Topics include spiritual and emotional intimacy, connection, communication and conflict resolution, finances, sexual intimacy, roles and expectations, and more. We believe premarital mentoring is important for a number of reasons:

• Marriage is hard. More than 60% of marriages end in divorce.
• The stakes are high. Bad marriages hurt families, children, and don’t reflect the love between Christ and His Church.
• We are not called to “figure it out for ourselves”. Rather, to learn from wise men and women who have gone before us.

Mentorship Couples are committed to walking with couples through intentional and practical life on life discussions, learning opportunities, and assessments. Opportunities are available throughout the year.

Apply for Premarital Mentoring
To get started with Premarital Mentoring, please complete the following:

1. Email our counseling center for more information or to submit the application.
2. Pay the $80 registration fee (per couple) to cover the assessment, books, and materials used.
3. A couple from our Premarital Mentoring Team will reach out to get started.
