Maximize Connection
Better Love Assessment
Better Love is an individualized online assessment for married couples. Each couple receives a personalized report that provides insight into their money methods, fight types, love life, personalities, and talk style. Couples also receive blueprints for four dates, and ideas for growing deeper connection. The assessment costs $35, but scholarships are available. When you have completed the assessment, you will be prompted to enter the Blackhawk Group Code, which is GYKN84DU.

Repair Connection
SYMBIS+ Assessment
For couples who prefer working with a certified facilitator.
SYMBIS+ is a faith-based assessment tool for couples who are looking to address more challenging topics within their marriage. It gives them a personalized roadmap for repairing a healthy connection by exploring their unique personalities, marriage mindsets, communication styles, money methods, conflict dynamics, and spiritual life practices. SYMBIS+ shows a married couple where they stand strongest together and where they might stand apart in order for them to develop more harmony within their relationship. Through conversation with a certified facilitator, couples can identify next steps that are specific to their relationship and increase connectivity, communication, passion, and teamwork. The cost of the SYMBIS+ assessment and 90-minute appointment with a certified facilitator is $105.

Weddings
Please complete a couple profile form to initiate a conversation with Blackhawk about our premarital process, which is designed to draw engaged couples deeper into community at Blackhawk. This process includes meeting with Pastor of Marriage and Parenting Anne Kierce, participating in an online assessment by SYMBIS (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts), as well as being paired with a marriage mentor couple within the church. We encourage couples to allow nine months for the entire process from application to wedding, but we are also able to work with couples on a shorter timeline.
Some of our officiating pastors are bilingual. We may be able to accommodate requests for English/Spanish or English/Mandarin ceremonies.
