THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE RITE |
|
| A Christian marriage, ordained of God, is intended as a life-long and singular commitment. It is undertaken by two who share a faith in their Lord and a willingness to commit their lives to be together in service to God and humankind. Such a commitment demands not only love, but gentleness, self-control, maturity and many of the other qualities described in
Galatians 5:22 and I Corinthians

SCHEDULING YOUR WEDDING |
|
1. Early Arrangements
- A wedding date will be considered reserved as soon as the appropriate fee is received and the wedding arrangement sheet has been filled out.
- Saturday weddings may be scheduled to begin not later than 3:30 due to the evening worship services. (Weddings beginning at 4:00 may be possible if there is no receiving line at the church and no elaborate decorations--please consult with a pastor.)
- An unsupervised nursery is available at Christ the King. Couples planning to use the nursery
must provide adult supervision during the time of its use. The nursery will
not be opened unless there is an adult present at all times. A privacy room, separated from the worship space by glass, and with a speaker, so that the service may be heard, is always available. All rooms to be used on the day of the wedding (and rehearsal) must be specified ahead of time.

2. The Pastors
- It is important to first discuss your wedding plans with one of the pastors in order to reserve a date. This should be done as early as possible to avoid any conflicts on the church or pastoral schedule.
- We will attempt to respect your choice of any pastor on the staff of Christ the King for your ceremony. If a scheduling conflict arises with the pastor you have chosen, one of the other staff pastors will perform your wedding, depending upon availability.
- Due to staff and facility commitments, weddings may not be possible on or around certain holiday weekends. Some holidays, such as Easter, may occur in varying months. Please check with the pastor.
- The possibility of participation by visiting clergy should be discussed well in advance.
