We also want to prepare you for a lifetime of God-honoring marriage by highlighting and reinforcing God's view of marriage. At Brookside we believe marriage is a good gift given to us by God. Since God is ultimately the giver of marriage, this means He has certain designs for marriage that we want to keep in mind and follow. Our wedding packet will introduce you to our pre-marital coaching ministry, the primary way we help couples continue their engagement and launch their marriage in a God-honoring way. Our pre-marital coaching program is required of all couples that are married at Brookside and/or by a Brookside pastor.
