A wedding ceremony performed in the church is a worship service where the couple being married has indicated a desire to have their commitment to each other blessed by God and witnessed by family and friends in God's house.  The wedding ceremony celebrates God's wonderful gift of love in Christ through the rites and rituals acceptable to the Lutheran tradition.  Premarital counseling is required and certification the counseling has taken place will be presented upon meeting with the pastor.  Please consult with the pastor before making arrangements for the reception to make certain the church and pastor are available on the date you are choosing.
