WEDDINGS

What You Need to Know

Planning for your marriage is even more important than preparing for your wedding. Our pastor requires counseling sessions as a part of that preparation. Generally, three to four sessions are needed.

​

You may contact the church office to check availability on our calendar. Once availability has been determined, our pastor will be in touch to schedule counseling sessions.  A completed wedding form and a $100 deposit will hold the date for you.

​

Persons who hold membership in First United Methodist Church should discuss financial arrangements with the Pastor.

​

When our building is used, the Church incurs costs.  These include clergy fees, organist fees, building use fees, utilities, and coordinator fees.
