We believe marriage is one of God's most precious gifts to men and women, so we want couples to have the most satisfying, most fulfilling, most enjoyable and most God-honoring marriage possible.

For that reason, all couples considering marriage at Great Valley meet with the pastor for an introductory session to discuss their hopes and dreams for marriage and to consider the biblical view of marriage. If it is the couple's desire to pursue God's design for marriage, then a series of at least 6 sessions are scheduled to enable the couple to examine and strengthen various aspects of their relationship.

Couples are expected to complete at least half of the sessions before a date will be reserved on the church calendar.
