The following is a summary of our beliefs on marriage.
1. The Bible teaches that a Christian should marry another Christian. (II Corinthians 6:14).
2. Marriage is a commitment. A wedding is a very happy and joyful time. It is a time of
celebration, but it is also a very serious time. You will be exchanging vows of promise
and commitment.
Ecclesiastes 5:5 says it is better not to make a vow to God than to make a vow and then
break it. A couple should consider very carefully their willingness to keep the marriage
vows in the marriage. Marriage is not based on emotions, but on commitment. The Bible
states, until death do you part.
3. A wedding is a celebration of worship. Not only is a marriage a Christian marriage, the
wedding ceremony should be a Christian celebration. There are two approaches that
can be taken in the exchange of wedding vows.
The first approach is using the vows that available in our
book of wedding vows. These vows are very personal
and very Christ centered.
The second approach is you may write your own vows.
These vows you will not repeat, but share with each
other. These vows should also reflect a commitment to
Jesus Christ and a life long promise of commitment to
the marriage. Because a wedding is to be a Christian
celebration the music selected for the wedding is very
important. I require that music being used edifies Christ.
Remember your wedding is a testimony to others.
4. Counseling prior to marriage is very important and highly recommended.
The Bible says, in the book of Proverbs, "in a multitude of counselors there is wisdom."
Each of you has your own unique personality,
backgrounds, and views. The purpose of counseling is to
assist you in understanding yourself and your
marriage partner. It is better to spend more time and money
understanding your future spouse in counseling, rather than
spending more money and time planning the ceremony.
