Merge

Merge: Premarital Preparation

Merge is a premarital discipleship ministry designed for engaged and seriously dating couples. It’s a chance to seek wisdom and receive counsel about marriage in a safe, fun, and authentic environment.

What Makes Merge Unique?

Merge helps couples explore the true meaning of marriage in a safe and informative environment. 

Merge addresses common questions and challenges from a biblical perspective. 

Often for the first time, couples get to see the practicalities of merging together two very different lives. 

Merge is “Twogether in Texas’ certified. Couples who complete Merge receive a premarital course certificate that, when presented to the court clerk, saves $60 off their marriage license and waives the 72-hour waiting period.
