Courses Team

Summary of Role

Premarital Class Mentors are mature married couples who journey with engaged, dating, or married couples during our six week Premarital Course, which happens twice a year. The course is a balance of teaching times and round-table discussions which are facilitated by the Mentors. Rather than providing all the answers, mentors create space for meaningful conversation, prayer, and reflection, helping couples learn how to talk well, listen deeply, and discern faithfully together.

Key Responsibilities

• Be a witness of actively lived faith and marriage experience

• Facilitate honest, thoughtful, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations and story-telling in a safe, grace-filled environment

• Ask wise, discerning questions that help couples practice healthy communication and understand that the goal is formation, not fixing—learning how to talk, listen, and grow together

• Listen deeply and without judgment

• Holds stories and struggles with confidence and trust

• Discern when to encourage, when to gently challenge, and when to refer a couple to a Pastor

• Serve under the guidance of our Pastoral Team
