MARRIAGE: Overview How-To Facilities Marriage Seminars Receptions
If you are engaged to be married or to live
in a lifetime covenant relationship and are considering having your wedding
or covenant service at Fauntleroy Church, we'd like to congratulate and
welcome you!
We’re glad to join with your family and friends to wish you all the best as you share in this wonderful lifelong relationship. Your wedding or covenant service is a significant event in your lives, so you’ll want it to be both joyous and sacred, reflecting your love and God’s, encompassing your hopes, dreams and plans for the future. We welcome the opportunity to work with you in the arrangements of your service and in the preparations for your life together.
Because we understand a marriage/covenant
to be the commitment of two persons to live with love for each other
into a long and unknown future, we believe your service should reflect
reverence and dignity as well as joy! Therefore, we offer you a variety
of resources as you prepare – from experienced wisdom about wedding
or covenant service details to a time of reflection in the Marriage
Seminar or in pre-service counseling…and much more.
We’d like you to know and to respect the following significant information about our church and our beliefs:
1. We understand marriage and a commitment of two persons to live in covenant forever is a profound response to the gift of God’s love in your lives. For this reason, we believe thoughtful preparation is essential, so we require every couple to participate in our Marriage Seminar or to engage in pre-service counseling with another counseling agency.
2. We understand that God’s love includes all persons, regardless of race, gender, ethnic origin or sexual orientation, and that we are to live in response to that love. We ask that you respect this Open and Affirming statement, adopted by vote by all members of this church.
3. We understand that a wedding or covenant service is a sacred and joyful event, so we require that you follow the guidelines for music and photography carefully. Your officiating minister will work with you to design a service which is both reverent and reflective of your personal story, commitment and community gathered as well as an understanding of God’s gift of love in your lives.
