Our
GREAT START marriage
preparation workshop
teaches couples skills to
help develop a lasting, more
satisfying marriage. The
Great Start leadership team
does this through lectures,
skits and demonstrations.
Couples benefit most if they
participate on a weekend at
least 6 months in advance of
their wedding.
The "Great Start " program
is facilitated by TPCC
leaders (and long term
members), as well as, our
minister. The workshop
focuses on developing skills
in couple communications and
conflict resolution, using
tools developed by
professionals in those
fields. Using these tools
as a basis we, the Great
Start Team, guide you
through a series of
discussions on life issues
related to marriage such as: marriage expectations,
family and friends, children
and parenting, finances, and
several more. Although we
meet as a group you will
spend most of the time that
weekend working as a couple,
with one of our team
coaching you.
Great start is offered 3-4
times per year on Friday
evenings (from 6:30p.m. to
9p.m) Saturdays (from 9a.m.
to 5p.m.) and Sunday
mornings (from 9a.m. to 12
noon).
Attendance is required
in order to be married at
Torrey Pines Christian
Church and the cost is
already included in your
wedding package. You will
also get to meet your TPCC
minister while attending
great start.
We will register you for
Great Start immediately
following your wedding
reservation and begin your
online
questionnaire/inventory
right away.
