OCC's pre-marriage class is offered throughout the year for engaged or pre-engaged couples. Classes meet once a week for eight weeks. Each class of up to six couples is led by one of OCC's married couples that has been trained and certified through the SYMBIS organization. You'll talk about things like expectations, the different ways men and women communicate, understanding personalities, conflict resolution and financial management. There's a DVD to watch and homework every week.

The cost is $100 per couple. The course fee includes:

• The Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts book and workbooks by Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott
• The SYMBIS assessment 
• Marriage on the Rock book by Jimmy Evans
• OCC teaching on what the Bible says about cohabitation. LISTEN NOW

Pre-marriage counseling is a requirement to be married at Overlake or by an OCC pastor. 

Our next class is scheduled to begin in Spring 2021. Due to COVID-19 regulations this class will mostly likely take place over Zoom with the potential of in-person meetings as the situation changes.
