Weddings

If you are considering having your wedding service at First Presbyterian Church, we want to help make it a meaningful and joyful experience for you, your families, and your guests. Therefore, we request that you read this brochure before you decide to schedule your wedding. 

Our policies are intended to assure that weddings at First Presbyterian Church are services of worship, which reflect our concern for the sanctity of marriage. As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) we are legally bound by our denomination guidelines and our church's views of Christian marriage. Throughout this brochure you will find a number of statements that are direct quotations from the Book of Order, which is the constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). Our ministers are bound by their ordination vows to abide by those requirements. These pages are designed to help answer preliminary questions. Our staff can answer others not addressed here. If, after reading this material and consulting with a minister, you choose to be married at First Presbyterian Church, you will find warm and prayerful support as you prepare for your wedding and subsequent life together.
