Weddings…

 

            Marriage is a gift God has given to all humankind for the well-being of the entire family. Christian marriage is a covenant through which a man and a woman are called to live out together before God their lives of discipleship. In a service of Christian marriage a lifelong commitment is made by a woman and a man to each other, publicly witnessed and acknowledged by the community of faith.

            In preparation for the marriage service, the pastor shall provide for a discussion(s) with the man and the woman concerning:

·     The nature of their Christian commitment, assuring that at least one is a professing Christian.

·     The privileges and responsibilities of Christian marriage.

·     The nature and form of the marriage service.

·     The vows and commitments they will be asked to make.

·     The relationship of these commitment to their lives of discipleship.

·     The resources of the faith and the Christian community to assist them in fulfilling their marriage commitment.

·     The legal requirements of the state.
