PREMARITAL COUNSELING

Our premarital process is designed to help engaged couples build Christ-centered marriages that will be successful and fruitful according to God’s plan for marriage. You and your fiancée will meet with one of the pastors for 4-6 sessions to discuss how you can communicate at a deeper level, resolve conflicts, prepare for your financial future, lovingly relate to in-laws, and develop a shared spiritual life.

FOUR MONTHS ADVANCE NOTIFICATION

Please begin this process at least four months prior to your proposed wedding date. This will allow you to complete the preparation materials and participate in the required Premarital Counseling. These counseling sessions may raise issues that will require time to process and work through to a healthy resolution.

Marriage Preparation & Weddings

In addition to premarital counseling, one of our pastors will help plan your ceremony, facilitate the marriage ceremony rehearsal, and perform your marriage ceremony. Services for non-members will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We ask all couples to fill out a Wedding Application which you can access by clicking on the button at the bottom of the page.

Please note these special accomodations:

If your wedding will be held on a Saturday, our accommodations are from 11am - 3pm. Weddings may not go later than 3pm.
The church is not available for weddings on Sunday.
All NJV Pastors are unavailable for off-site Sunday weddings.
