As a service of Christian worship, the marriage service is under the direction of the pastor and the supervision of the session. People who desire to schedule a wedding at First Presbyterian Church are asked by the pastors to have an active faith commitment and to participate in the life of this church. The pastor counsels the couple before their wedding service.

Through the church office, couples may tentatively schedule a wedding date, but a meeting with the pastor is required to confirm the commitment, responsibility, maturity, and Christian understanding of marriage.

The church provides not only pastoral leadership, but also music counseling as well. The Minister of Music is contracted to play for all weddings. Guest musicians are invited to participate only with the approval of the Minister of Music, including soloists who may be asked to audition. The marriage service at this church is a worship service unto God, and as such, we encourage the bride and groom to make decisions with the pastor and Minister of Music. Additionally, the church provides a wedding service director and custodial support.

Guidelines are provided by the church office on use of decorations, photography, and videography, building issues, and times the sanctuary is available to the bride and groom.

Initial inquiries may be made to the church office so that calendar coordination may take place and wedding policies discussed.

For more information or to coordinate a date, phone the church office at (248) 349-0911.
