A service of Christian marriage is provided for couples who wish to solemnize their marriage in a service of Christian worship. Christian marriage is proclaimed as a sacred covenant reflecting Christ's covenant with the church. Everything about the service is designed to witness that this is a Christian marriage. Both words and actions consistently reflect the belief that husband and wife are equal partners in Christian marriage and that they are entering into the marriage of their own volition. Those present are understood to be an active congregation rather than simply passive witnesses. They give their blessing to the couple and to the marriage, and they join in prayer and praise.

There is a wedding information packet available to help with the many detail involved. This information packet will be a great help in making your plans and arrangements. There are forms to be filled out and returned to ensure that your wedding occurs as planned. Three counseling sessions with the minister are required by the denomination’s Book of Discipline. These are to be arranged with the minister at least four months in advance of the wedding date.

A non-refundable deposit, paid with signed wedding information sheet, will reserve your date. Please contact the office at 937/898-5845 for a detailed wedding brochure and fee schedule.
