A wedding is one of the happiest and holiest moments in life.As a man and woman join their lives to establish a home, the church rejoices with them and is eager to help make the occasion of their wedding beautiful and meaningful.
Our church has a wedding committee that will direct all weddings to ensure the proper use of church facilities.There is no charge for this service.
Reservations for weddings are made through the Church Office and a copy of our policies will be given to the bride-to-be. The bride is responsible for explaining these polices to the photographer, video person, florist, caterer, and any other persons involved.A meeting with the wedding committee should be arranged at the time reservations are made or very soon thereafter.
If the wedding is to be performed by one of our church ministers, the bride needs to contact that minister so that he or she will reserve that date.Pre-marital counseling is required if one of our ministers is to perform the ceremony.If an outside minister is used, the Senior Minister of our Church must approve the quest minister.
The Board of Trustees requires that the person making the reservations accept full responsibility for any damages to church property, complete all rental forms and sign the liability agreement on behalf of all wedding participants and guests.
Since the wedding is a religious ceremony in the house of God, the decorations should be as simple as possible and should enhance the natural beauty of the Sanctuary or Chapel.
