What is your church’s approach to marriage preparation?

Do you have a course to take couples through?

Alpha USA’s “The Marriage Preparation Course” can help couples begin building a lifelong, happy marriage even before they say ‘I do’. Investing in a relationship before marriage will reap rewards for years to come.

WHAT COURSE LEADERS SAY “The Marriage Prep Course is an incredible ‘entry point’ for loads of unchurched, newly engaged couples.

We promoted it at a booth during a recent Bridal Show in town. It was utterly amazing—probably the most missional activity that my wife Susie and I have been a part of in the last year!”

Justin & Susie Kastner, Church Planter & Pastor at Trinity Canton (Churches for the Sake of Others.) Manhattan, Kansas.

“The future of society passes through the family. If this statement is true, then we must do all in our power to strengthen the family, both inside and outside the church. We here at Truro Anglican Church love using the Marriage Course and Marriage Prep Course to reach out with Christ’s love for the sake of families in our community.”

Rev Tory Baucum, Rector, Truro Anglican Church, Fairfax, Virginia.
