Marriage Ministry
Building a Godly Marriage
Whether you’re thinking of getting married, are a newlywed, or have been married for decades, we want to help you build a strong, God-glorifying marriage. Through equipping classes, mentorship opportunities, and small groups, we seek to help marriages in every stage build a Christ-centered relationship.
Learn more about each of our opportunities below. If you would like to receive updates from the marriage, you can sign up for the newsletter HERE.
BEGIN
We help prepare pre-married couples, whether seriously dating or engaged, to understand and create a Christ-centered relationship and marriage with biblical wisdom and self-awareness.
Premarital Mentoring
We would love to partner to help you begin a strong, Christ-centered marriage. We offer 2-on-2 mentoring for seriously dating and engaged couples with a trained, seasoned married couple using a biblically based curriculum. To get started, please filling out the interest form below.
Important things to consider:
We strongly recommend a 6-month window prior to your wedding day to facilitate mentoring. If it is less than 3 months until your wedding day, we are unable to provide mentoring.
If you desire a pastor from Hill Country to officiate at your wedding, please ensure availability before setting a date.
If you have questions about the process or are uncertain about meeting the timeframes prior to your wedding day, we would love the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your concerns and work with you to seek a biblical solution.
BUILD
We help couples build their marriage upon the foundational principles of a Christ-centered, biblical marriage and engage in the exciting work of continued and intentional cultivation of their marriage.
