Looking Toward Marriage

The Fall 2010 Session begins Saturday, September 25. In order to attend you and your fiance must be registered by clicking here.

The Looking Toward Marriage Class is a course for those seriously considering marriage, as well as for those couples already engaged or even couples married less than a year. It is required of all engaged couples getting married at Fairfax Community or by one of our pastors, and is encouraged for all other couples considering marriage. Early bird registration is $60 per person. After September 13 the registration fee increases to $70.

Details:
God designed marriage to be a lasting covenant between husband, wife, and their Lord. The purpose of this group is to prepare and equip couples for a God blessed, God centered, and lasting relationship. It is also an opportunity for those couples considering marriage to evaluate their relationship. This class is held two times a year early spring and early fall.

Registration:
Each individual must register separately for this class. The class size is limited to 24 couples and will fill quickly, so register right away. The Fall 2010 Session will begin Saturday, September 25. After the initial Saturday meeting, the remaining meetings will be on Sunday evenings. Online registration will begin in late July.

The early-bird registration fee is $60 per person which covers curriculum, supplies, and lunch for the Saturday session. Registration fee after the Early Bird cutoff, September13, is $70 per person. If you have questions, please email Kathleen at kathleenotchy@fairfax.cc.
