THE MARRIAGE SUITE
Here at St. James’ Church, we believe that family units are an important pillar of the church. The formation of strong family units begins with marriages deeply rooted in God. The marriage suite is a recommended series of courses designed to help couples through the important milestone of marriage by building a solid foundation of expectations, community and skills.
In a nutshell, the recommendations are as seen below.
