Over three sessions, we will discuss marriage, sex, finances, communication, parents/parents-in-law, and answer any questions you might have! Each session will discuss the current cultural view compared with teaching the Biblical view of each topic. This class is for dating and or engaged couples.

*Please note that we will attempt to accommodate your request to the best of our abilities. However we cannot guarantee that a Pastor will be available on a specific date. Certain dates such as long weekends in the summer and over holiday periods (i.e. Christmas, New Years) will be particularly difficult. Requesting a pastor does not guarantee we’ll be able to supply a Pastor, but does initiate our marriage process with you.*

Frequently Asked Questions
If you are unable to attend the scheduled courses, please contact Diana at ddyck@northview.org We will work with you to find alternate pre-marriage counseling.
Yes – you are welcome to attend. Ideally, we would prefer couples to take pre-marriage classes at the church where they will be attending after they are married. However, we recognize that not all churches offer pre-marriage training or their course dates may not work for you as a couple.
Classes are a mix of large group teaching mixed with discussion around tables. The material will be strongly Biblically based and practical for everyday life.
If you are interested in attending an upcoming Pre-marriage class please email Diana at ddyck@northview.org
It is the practice of Northview Pastors to officiate at weddings of couples who share the same Christian faith commitment, and who are members of our church. If this is not your situation or your beliefs, you are welcome to contact us for further discussion on these issues. In addition, engaged couples are required to complete a pre-marriage training course.
Please contact Diana at ddyck@northview.org
Our Pastors will not be able to confirm their role until he or she has an initial meeting with the couple. In the qualifying session, you should expect the Pastor to ask you about your Christian faith and the nature of your relationship.
