Marriage is one of the most important commitments two people will ever make. At Northern Light Church, our goal is not simply to help you prepare for a wedding day, but to help you build a strong, Christ-centered marriage that will last for years to come.

Premarital counseling gives couples the opportunity to slow down, ask meaningful questions, and establish a healthy biblical foundation before entering into the covenant of marriage. During this process, we will walk together through key areas such as communication, expectations, spiritual unity, finances, and long-term commitment.

Whether you are part of the Northern Light Church family or simply seeking biblical guidance as you prepare for marriage, we are honored to walk alongside you in this important season.

You’ll notice the application below asks about areas such as your relationship history, spiritual background, and previous marriages. These questions are not meant to be intrusive. They simply help us understand where you are starting so we can provide thoughtful, biblical guidance tailored to your situation.

Every couple comes with a unique story. Our goal is to walk with you wisely, address important topics before marriage, and help you build the strongest possible foundation moving forward.

Any sensitive details will always be discussed privately and handled with care.

Please complete the application below to begin the process. After your submission is received, the pastor will review your information and reach out to schedule your initial meeting.
