Weddings

Genesis 2:24
“..a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.” 

2 Corinthians 6:14
“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.  For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?  Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” 

Christian Marriage at Christ Presbyterian Church

The joining of a man and woman in marriage is the foundation of God’s plan for His people and His world.  Christians should marry in the Lord and in a Christian church. Therefore, it is fitting that their marriage be solemnized by a Minister of the Gospel and that special instruction be given to the couple to prepare them for a life together that is fulfilling to them and is pleasing and useful to God.

In order to assist in planning a wedding and in preparing the engaged couple for a life together that is gratifying and brings glory to God, Christ Presbyterian Church has developed and adopted the policies and guidelines available in a manual available to download, which is based on three guiding principles, 1) Above All, Honor God,  2) Marriage is a serious and weighty union, not to be treated lightly,  3) Joy abounds and we want to celebrate with you.

Applying to be Married at Christ Presbyterian Church (Download Wedding Manual)

The facilities of CPC are available for weddings to all members (and their children) who are in good standing and who have been official members for at least six months. It is important to apply as early as possible in order to reserve the desired date on the CPC calendar.  Applying at least three months (preferably six months) prior to the desired wedding date is suggested.  The Wedding Scheduler at CPC will tentatively reserve the date until the couple has met with one of the CPC pastors, completed the Marriage Application, Waiver, and Agreement forms (located in Wedding Manual) and paid the wedding fees. Then the desired dates for the facility will be officially confirmed.

Note:  Please personally contact the Minister who will be performing the ceremony because he is not notified with the facility reservation.  If an outside Minister is desired, that person must be approved by our Pastoral Staff and one of CPC’s Pastors must officiate at the wedding ceremony. Etiquette suggests that the couple should provide honorariums for ministers.
