The Marriage Preparation Team members act as guides for the couples and meet with them in a one-to-one setting to help them through the planning process: to get acquainted, answer any questions they may have, fill out necessary preliminary paperwork, review the “Fully Engaged” profile with the engaged couples, provide them with materials to plan their wedding ceremony, etc.
Resources and training to assist with planning are available to the prep team members. The team of planners are involved in the ministry on a rotating basis as wedding requests arise.
If you’d like to join this ministry or have any questions, please email Teresa at [email protected].
