Because we are committed to building strong marriages, engaged couples who wish to be married at Crossings or would like a Crossings pastor to perform their ceremony are required to attend Preparing for the Marriage of a Lifetime—a nine-week course demonstrating what a healthy marriage looks like and helping participants evaluate their relationships. (Couples unable to attend the nine-week course can substitute sessions covering similar topics in the premarital series with a professional Christian counselor.)
Eight steps in planning your wedding at Crossings
