Mentoring

Mentorship for engaged & married couples wanting to put Jesus first in their relationship.

Why Mentoring?

Marriage is a precious relationship worth doing well & worth fighting for.

Devoted City’s marriage mentors are trained to help engaged couples prepare for marriage. We also offer mentoring for married couples looking to enrich their marriage.

What to Expect

A mentor couple will walk alongside you, helping you discover new insights & skills to strengthen your marriage.
You can expect to have 6-8 sessions, about 60-90 minutes in length.
You will take a pre-marital inventory and the resulting report will be used along with resources chosen with your relationship in mind.
There is a $100 materials fee to cover all resources needed.
We strongly encourage you to attend worship services together during this process; this is another way to invest in your marriage.

Testimonials

“This is the perfect place to start building the future you want to have. You will always feel safe, heard, and filled with peace.”

“By the end of it, I truly felt like we had left no stone unturned and had discussed everything there was to talk about before getting married. There weren’t any surprises once we got married because we had already talked about everything- finances, household responsibility, sex, etc.”

“Our mentors were so honest and relatable and made every meeting a welcoming space. You can tell immediately how genuine and loving they are, and how passionate they are for helping couples build their relationship on the Lord.”

“Wow! Such an incredibly amazing experience. We genuinely loved every second of it, it helped us grow deeper in our relationship and provided opportunities to have conversations we needed to have.”

“Four years later, we still quote things our mentors said to us.”

“It allowed us to better understand how each of us handles conflict and find ways to better deal with miscommunication and misunderstanding.”

FAQs

How much does mentoring cost?

There is a $100 materials fee. It covers all resources needed for the mentoring. Mentor couples are volunteers and do not receive compensation.

Do I need to have a mentor to be married by a Devoted City Pastor?

Devoted City Pastors strongly recommend and prefer that couples receive mentoring or professional pre-marital counseling.

How long before our wedding should we request mentoring?

You know yourselves and your schedule best. Ideally, you may wish to have completed the mentoring 2 months prior to your wedding date. For this reason, you’ll want to begin the process at least 6 months before your wedding.

We aren’t engaged yet. Is it too early?

Not necessarily. There are some couples who seek mentoring once they have decided to commit to one another in marriage.

What help is available for marriages in crisis?

Devoted City is equipped to help you connect with the right level of care based on your situation. You can use a Next Steps Card to connect with your Campus Pastor.
