Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!
Many couples spend hours and hours planning their wedding, but fail to make that same time investment in planning their married life together. We encourage you as a couple to take advantage of this time to prepare for marriage. We pray that during these weeks and months of preparation and planning, you will enjoy what God is doing in your relationship, as you learn to serve each other and glorify God. We take this preparation process very seriously and hope you will, as well.
New Song Church believes that marriage is a holy union where the couple commits to building a loving, faithful, Christ-centered relationship that will last a lifetime. Marriage is meant to reflect the relationship Christ has with His Church. We believe that when marriage is fashioned after God’s own design, it blesses not only the couple (and the family they become), but also the church and community as a whole, bringing glory to God.
Couples who would like to have their wedding ceremony at New Song Church, or have one of our pastors officiate the wedding ceremony at another venue, need to:
· Be followers of Jesus Christ.
· At least one person within the relationship should be a regular part of the spiritual journey of New Song Church.
· Contact the Church Office and schedule a meeting with the Lead Pastor (or other clergy as desired).
· Schedule with our Christian Counselor on staff, Heather Shaheen, for the required 4 sessions of premarital counseling (and one that follows the ceremony after 30 days as part of our follow-through).
· Meet with the pastor who will officiate your wedding ceremony to finalize the ceremony’s details.
Engaged couples that do not currently consider New Song Church to be their church home should regularly attend worship services for at least six months prior to the wedding and meet all other requirements above.
