What will this seminar teach us?
This seminar covers the “how to’s” of pre- and postmarital counseling. Valuable insights are given on how to draw a couple out so they can take a thorough look at themselves, their backgrounds, and their future. Learn how to use the Called Together material and how to equip others to use this tool.
Who should attend this training?
Pastors and their spouses desiring to further their counseling skills for pre- and postmarital counseling will benefit. This training is also designed for mature believers, who have been recommended by their pastor, and are interested in providing biblical material to those planning for marriage.
