At Village, we desire to strengthen the marriages of those who are a part of our church, as well as members of the community. Below you will find several ways in which we strive to do this. For more information, please contact Pastor Mike Reid in the church office.
Pre-marital Counseling
Village offers, in fact requires, pre-marital counseling for anyone who is being married by a Village pastor or is using our facility for their wedding ceremony. To arrange for this counseling, please contact the pastor you would like to marry you. If you are not a part of our church, but would like to be married here, please contact Patty Deiser in the church office for more information.
Marital Counseling
Marital counseling is offered to Villagers by many of our pastors. If you have a specific need, please contact the pastor you would like to work with. If you are not sure which pastor to talk with, please contact the church office and the staff can help direct you. We also recommend the Christian Counseling Center of Oregon for marital counseling. You may reach them at (503) 636-4176 or (800) 337-9622.
