What worldview do the premarital class teachers subscribe to?
Our classes are Gospel-centered (meaning they are strongly hinged on the message of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection). By and large the teachings derive their worldview from a biblical Judeo-Christian background. Specifically, Ernest and Waturi Wamboye are protestant evangelical Christians. They fellowship at Mamlaka Hill Chapel, Ruaka.
What format will the classes take?
The classes will take the following formats: Plenaries, Class discussions: Virtual interactions, and Q & A Interactive session: Interactive sessions for questions and answers.
Is there any financial cost?
The class, in and of itself, is free of charge.
Since the class is free, how does it run?
Our premarital class successfully runs through the generous giving of God’s people to our work. The generous giving of the previous premarital class enables you to be part of this current class. In light of that, we will ask you to give a free-will donation to our ministry during the final class. Those who give financially will receive a premarital class certificate as an appreciation and acknowledgement of your participation and generosity.
Is there anything else we need to know?
The class is homework intensive. You will be required to complete personal and couple assignments. You will also be required to read about two chapters of the book BAESICS every week. If you are a hard worker, you will love the class and benefit greatly from it.
The class will have a common WhatsApp group for the 12-week period. We will then have a physical retreat after the 12 weeks. The retreat will be on a date that the class will unanimously agree on.
