Pre-Married Prep
Congratulations!
Getting started
Pre-Married Prep at Hope uses a practical and personalized tool called SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts). Couples are connected 2-on-2 with a marriage mentor couple for biblical encouragement as you complete SYMBIS together, typically completed in 3-5 one-hour sessions.
The cost for SYMBIS is $35 per couple.

In 2018, he became the Marriage Pastor because he is passionate about helping couples strengthen their marriages. Dave and his wife, Cindy have a son and a daughter. His experience as a father and love of the gospel led him to write Hope for Parents, which goes from Genesis to Revelation to unpack scripture as the ultimate parenting guide.
