The pre-marital class, Building a Strong Marriage, is a five-week study on biblical marriage designed to help you gain clarity on theology, your relationship, and relational skills. The course is open to engaged couples who want to build a solid gospel foundation for their marriage. The class is required if you wish to have a DCC pastor officiate your wedding. Additionally, we require that at least one of the couple is a covenanted member of DCC.
Congratulations on your engagement! We are excited to partner with you both in God’s redemptive plan for your relationship in marriage. We recommend you begin the process as soon as possible after engagement. Give yourself a minimum of 3 months notice prior to the wedding to plan for the ceremony and prepare you for marriage through the Building a Strong Marriage class.
To get started, please read our Marriage Packet to understand DCC’s marriage policy, perspective on marriage and weddings, details on premarital expectations, and guidelines for planning a wedding.
