Premarital mentoring is available for all first-time marriages for couples (members and non-members) intending to be married by the Pastor of The Water’s Edge. Couples will be assigned a Marriage Mentor Couple to complete the Preparing for Marriage curriculum. The mentor couples have received special premarital training. These couples have been married for at least ten years and exemplify Christ-centered marriages.
Topics to be covered include:
To adequately discuss the above topics and other concerns, it ordinarily takes eight, one-hour mentoring sessions. The assigned Mentor Couple will contact you to schedule a time to meet. The couple will be provided a Preparing for Marriage workbook to be used for the mentoring sessions.
You should expect to be challenged, strengthened, educated, and better prepared for your upcoming marriage. You will experience some laughs and even some tears. Through the mentoring sessions, you should develop a realistic expectation of what marriage will be like.
The Wedding Coordinator represents the church in coordinating the details of the wedding and rehearsal within the church. Their responsibilities include: ensuring the wedding venue is ready for the rehearsal and wedding, unlocking rooms for the wedding party, coordinating audio set-up, arranging guestbook podium and gift table, assisting the Pastor with rehearsal, orchestrating processional and recessional, monitoring time schedules related to the ceremony, and overseeing any other facilitation needs within the church.
Rooms and space are available for dressing and getting ready at the church.
The Pastor can only perform weddings in full accordance with the law. The wedding cannot take place without a marriage license. Please be aware that some counties require multiple days to process a request for a marriage license. Please bring the license to the rehearsal.
You may ask our Wedding Coordinator for a list of suggested vocalists and instrumentalists. Please contact musicians as soon as possible to make arrangements for his or her presence at your wedding.
