We are glad you are considering being married at St Philip Presbyterian Church.  It is a fitting and beautiful place for such a joyous occasion.  Celebrating a wedding in God’s house reminds us of God’s steadfast love for us, and allows us to express our love and thanksgiving to God in worship. The Christian marriage service is a service of worship, ordinarily conducted in the sanctuary of the church, where the congregation worships.  Reverence is expected on the part of all present.  As a service of worship, the marriage service is under the sole direction of the Officiating Pastor, with the assistance of the Wedding Coordinator. 

 

Members of St. Philip Presbyterian Church will be given priority over non-members in scheduling weddings and/or receptions. Non-member weddings may be scheduled only at the discretion of the officiating pastor and with approval of the Session. A non-member wedding will not be confirmed prior to 90 days before the desired wedding date.

 

For the large wedding, our sanctuary seats 500. We have a strict no alcohol policy at St. Philip Presbyterian Church. All weddings at St. Philip Presbyterian Church may be scheduled up to one year prior to the wedding date. Only one wedding per day will be scheduled. Ordinarily, weddings may not be scheduled on holidays designated on the church calendar, or on the evening before those holidays.

The Officiating Pastor will provide counsel and education to the couple in a series of 3-4 meetings that will take place prior to the actual wedding.
