Chapel series serves engaged couples

February 15, 2013 by Katie Williamson

Engaged students have received the opportunity to gain Chapel credit by signing up to attend Premarital Counseling Chapel in the Bible Building on Thursdays from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m.

This unique Chapel series consists of 6 sessions held in the Chapel on the Hill at 11 a.m. for one hour on the following Thursdays: February 7, 14, 21 and March 21, 28. One Chapel credit will be given for each session and the cost is $35 per couple. There will also be a 2-hour individual follow-up session with a counselor.

Tim Ehrhart, a member of ACU’s counseling staff, said,

“We have a strong group of therapists who will be facilitating the series and I’m confident that the couples who attend will be blessed.”

The therapists, Loren Morcomb, Raelle King, Zach Austin and Meredith Platt are all graduate interns of the marriage and family therapy program at ACU.

According to Dr. Jamie Goff, chair of the department of marriage and family studies, an assessment instrument called, Prepare, will be used to guide each of the conversations. Prepare is an online survey each couple will take to help them see growth and strength areas in their relationship. Each week the couples will receive a report specifically tailored to them based on their assessment from Prepare.

At the end of the six sessions each couple will be given the chance to meet one-on-one in a two-hour session with one of the graduate interns for more detailed feedback of their Prepare results.

Upon completion of the Chapel series and the follow-up sessions, couples will receive a Together in Texas certificate and will be eligible to receive a $60 discount on their marriage license. The Chapel is limited to 30 couples.

“It will be a great opportunity for couples to grow in their relationship and to prepare for their life together.”
