Premarital Counseling

 

One of the most important decisions you will make in your life is who you will marry.  Receiving godly, premarital counsel before getting married could save you from a lot of heartache and disappointment and result in a satisfying and joy-filled marriage partnership. 

 

HJCC tailors your premarital sessions using PREPARE/ENRICH, a customized assessment tool that is completed online prior to your first session.  It is one of the most widely used assessments for premarital counseling.  

​

​

  • Discover God’s design for marriage, sex, & family
