Prepare for a Lifetime of Christ-Centred Commitment
Pre-marital Counselling
Before saying “I do,” it’s vital to build your relationship on more than love — it must be grounded in understanding, communication, and faith. Our pre-marital counselling South Africa programme is designed for engaged couples who want to begin their marriage journey with clarity, biblical guidance, and emotional maturity. Led by Pastor Tiyani Mongwe, a registered marriage officiant and counselling psychologist with over 45 years of pastoral experience, this service offers a safe, nurturing space to explore key topics before marriage.
Whether you’re newly engaged or a few weeks from the altar, our counselling helps you uncover potential challenges, strengthen your emotional bond, and align your marriage with God’s design.

Each session is designed to guide couples toward a stronger understanding of one another, while establishing lasting biblical principles. Here’s what to expect:
