Preparing for marriage is about more than planning a wedding. It's about building a strong, Christ-centered foundation for a lifetime together. At The River Church, Pastor Christian and his wife, Torri, offer biblical premarital counseling designed to help engaged and seriously dating couples grow in their relationship with God and one another.

Drawing from 28 years of marriage, raising three children, and now enjoying two grandchildren, they provide practical wisdom, honest conversation, and biblical guidance on communication, conflict resolution, finances, intimacy, and building a healthy marriage that honors Christ. Whether you're newly engaged or planning ahead, we'd be honored to walk alongside you as you prepare for one of life's most important commitments. 

In a world filled with pain and suffering, constant anxiety and fear, and pervasive brokenness; we at The River want to share the hope and peace that can be found in Jesus Christ.  We believe that counseling must be rooted in the truth of the Bible.  Every situation we face in life is addressed in the Scriptures and God is faithful to bring healing and deliverance to those who would apply His word to their lives.

The counseling ministry at The River offers a Christ centered, Biblically based process that can help those who are struggling in life to find the rest that Jesus spoke of in the gospels.  The Bible shows us a road map to lead us from the devastation and destruction caused by our sin and the sin of others into a life of Faith, Hope, and Love.
