Weddings

Dear Bride and Groom,

We want to be among the first to say “congratulations” and we hope you will seriously consider our church as the venue for your wedding. In addition, we would love for you to establish and grow your family here for years to come.

As you address the myriad of details related to becoming a married couple, we encourage you not to ignore the spiritual dimension. As God’s first ordained institution, scriptural marriage should be viewed as sacred and approached with reverence. Your ability to successfully contend with marital adjustments is directly proportionate to the quality of your relationship with Jesus Christ. If you have not already done so, we ask that you address the spiritual dimension of your life and future marriage by committing to seek God’s direction for your life individually and as a couple, and by seeking His assistance in living pure and holy lives.

On this website, we have attempted to state our policies and procedures briefly, yet with enough detail to answer your questions. Our dedicated staff is here to assist you during the planning process so that your wedding day goes smoothly and you will have memories to last a lifetime.
