PREPARING FOR MARRIAGE

Pre-Marital Counseling

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! We are happy to help prepare you to have a Christ-centered marriage, living according to the word of God.  The marriage ceremony at Chapel Pointe is a covenant made between a man, a woman, and God.  It is part of a worship service where Christian love is celebrated, and a spiritual commitment is made. There is nothing quite as exciting as planning for a wedding.

Common Questions

You may have questions about our marriage ministry at Chapel Pointe. Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. Feel free to contact us if you have additional questions.

I just got engaged and have no idea where to start; what should I do?

Fill out our Wedding Intake Form. This will allow our Wedding Coordinator to review your information and get you connected to the right path.

Why do we need premarital preparation and counseling?

We want you as a couple to thrive in developing a Christ-centered marriage. Studies show couples who participate in premarital counseling have a 70% higher success rate than those who don’t. 41% of divorced couples say lack of premarital preparation contributed to their divorce.

How long does it take to go through the premarital process?

6 months. You will meet with your mentor couple at least 9 times. However, special cases can be discussed with our Marriage Ministry Team.

Who needs to complete the marriage preparation process?

Any man and woman who desires to receive biblical guidance from Chapel Pointe in anticipation of entering into a marriage covenant. If you want to be married by a Chapel Pointe pastor, you will need to complete the marriage preparation process we have outlined.

Do Chapel Pointe pastors officiate weddings for couples who do not attend or are not members?

If you simply want someone who will officiate your wedding, we are not a good fit. We care deeply about helping couples prepare to have a Christ-centered relationship and marriage. We believe this includes involvement in a local church where they will receive ongoing support, encouragement, and opportunities for growth. Relationships are important to us!

You do not need to be a member to use a Chapel Pointe officiant, but you do need to attend Chapel Pointe regularly.

What costs are associated with getting married at Chapel Pointe?

If you are looking to get married on-site, we have packages starting at $750 and go up to $2000

For officiants and premarital prep mentors, there is no required fee, but we do suggest an honorarium of $200-$300 for their time and effort.

As part of the premarital prep, we do require couples to take the Prepare and Enrich Assessment.  The cost is $35 per couple and is due when logging into the website to take the test.

If you are not able to cover these costs, please let us know so we can help with the fee.
