We’re so excited to celebrate this special season with you and your fiancé!

At North Coast Church, we believe in setting a strong foundation for a lifelong marriage. We require Pre-Marital Counseling before moving forward with wedding planning.

Take a look below to learn how to sign up and begin your journey of preparing for marriage—we’re here to support you every step of the way!

Pre-Marital Classes

Our six-week “Preparing for Marriage” course covers topics such as God’s design for marriage, communication and conflict resolution, appreciating your differences, financial freedom, and sex and intimacy in marriage. The course is required for a marriage to be performed by a North Coast Church pastor. 

If you are currently dating, thinking of getting engaged, or planning a wedding, and would like to attend, register for an upcoming class or email info@northcoastchurch.com

Weddings

We believe that marriage is a sacred and joyful celebration. It is a covenant designed by God, worthy of thoughtful preparation. As a multi-campus church, we are honored to walk alongside couples as they step into this lifelong commitment.

North Coast Church currently offers two beautiful campus locations for wedding ceremonies: Vista Campus & Pauma Valley Campus.

To help lay a strong foundation for your marriage, we require all couples to complete our Preparing for Marriage Class or one-on-one premarital counseling with a North Coast  Church pastor prior to the wedding.

If you are interested in hosting your wedding at one of our campuses, or if you would like to request a North Coast Church pastor to officiate an offsite wedding, please complete the form below. Our Wedding Administrator will be happy to connect with you.
