Evidencing our dedication to the strengthening of the family and new marriages, we offer several Preparation for Marriage Seminars throughout the year. These seminars are led by Dr. Michael Atwater, PhD. Attendance at a seminar is mandatory for all those requesting to be married at First Presbyterian Church.

The seminars are conducted on a Saturday morning and provide valuable information to those planning for their future life together. The seminar is in addition to – not in lieu of – a scheduled counseling session with the pastor who will be performing your ceremony. There is a fee of eighty dollars ($80.00) per couple to cover the cost of food and materials. At the conclusion of the seminar, you will receive a certificate stating that you have participated. Presenting this certificate when you apply for your marriage license will give you a discount in the licensing fee.

Please call Dr. Atwater’s office at (561) 694-1887 for registering and upcoming dates, or click here for a registration form.
