As the weather warms and the evidence of spring is all around, our minds turn to Navy Commissioning Week, the Hallmark Channel's "Spring into Love" episodes, and new beginnings. One of the new beginnings we celebrate and support is a wedding!
At Bay Area, we are deeply invested in marriage. We believe that strong, thriving marriages begin with intentional preparation. That is why we require premarital mentoring for any couple from our Bay Area family who wishes to use our Chapel or be married by a Bay Area pastor.
If you are willing to open yourselves to God’s Holy Word, then we are excited to share God’s plan for your marriage, and to come alongside with some words of wisdom and encouragement. We will walk with you through a minimum of six private sessions over a few months to better prepare you for marriage. We will pair you with a mentor couple who has been married at least 10 years and are now striving to live a Christ-centered marriage. This couple will get to know you on a personal level, as you honestly share your story with them. They, in turn, will speak candidly about their own marriage, and share insights they have learned when things did not go quite as planned. They will try to help you talk through issues you may not have thought about and help answer your questions and guide you to further resources, if needed.
