We use a number of sources including a workbook, Getting Ready for Marriage to help couples have deep and meaningful conversations about major aspects of their life together as they prepare for their wedding day.

Prayer and Spiritual Direction
Prayer and conversations about spiritual concerns are always available through the Chaplains office.
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is an opportunity to meet one-on-one to help you listen and discern God's guidance and insight for your daily life as a discipleship. Typically a formal spiritual direction relationship involves meeting with your director about once every month (more often if you are having a spiritual crisis) for about 45 mins, thought the exact frequency and duration will be determined by availability. Chaplain Cindy has a Masters Degree in Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Direction and has been doing this kind of ministry for 12 years.
Vocation Discernment
