The Alpha Pre-Marriage Course Small Group is a series of 5 weekly sessions to help engaged couples, or those exploring the possibility of marriage, build strong foundations for their future. The course will help couples learn to communicate well, understand and appreciate their differences, and prepare for potential challenges. Plan to set aside 2 hours for this small group each week to learn, grow, and have some fun with your significant other.

What is the format? Each week will begin with a welcome from your group leader followed by watching the video as a group, with various stopping points throughout the video for you and your significant other to privately talk through the discussion points presented in the video. Your group leader will then close out and dismiss the session. Your group leader is simply hosting and facilitating this environment and will not be involved in your private discussions with your significant other.
