Weddings

Churches are special and unique places to get married in - the prayers, promises and the whole service of celebration become part of your marriage, on the day itself and beyond.

SACRAMENTS

A Spiritual Dimension To Your Marriage

Marriage it is a sign not only of the love of the couple for each other but of the love of God for the couple and the love of God for his people.

The ritual of a Christian wedding ceremony in most cases includes this significant statement: "By the authority committed unto me as a minister of the church of Christ, I declare that [names] are now husband and wife, according to the ordinance of God and the law of the state; in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
