We as a church are committed to creating environments where marriages don't just survive but thrive! Our goal is to focus on fewer areas and do them very well; improving and creating God-centered marriages is an area Real Life desires to have a great impact.
One of the ways we do this is by hosting several marriage events throughout the year. These large scale events aim to provide instruction and practical ways to grow in your relationship. We also offer small groups occasionally throughout the year, allowing couples to continue investing in their marriages and community.
We also offer Premarital Counseling through our Marriage Mentor Program. Our Marriage Mentor Couples receive training through the Prepare and Enrich Mentor Program™. These couples have marriages demonstrating what it looks like to have healthy (not perfect), Christ-centered marriages and they desire to walk with and help equip engaged couples as they prepare to begin their marriage.
Engaged Couples seeking premarital counseling will first take an assessment through Prepare and Enrich ™, which aids in discovering and focusing on strengths and areas of potential growth in their relationship. After completing their assessments, couples will be paired with a Marriage Mentor couple and commit to a one year mentorship program where they meet regularly working through the Prepare and Enrich curriculum. For those looking to have a RLCC Pastor officiate their wedding, premarital counseling needs to begin no less than 6 months prior to their wedding.
Take the assessment to be assigned a Marriage Mentor Couple for Premarital Counseling.
