Weddings are an exciting, and sometimes stressful, time for many couples. We consider it a privilege to be a part of this time in your lives. Our desire is to serve you well in preparing for a wonderful, God-honoring wedding – but most importantly, a wonderful, God honoring marriage that lasts a lifetime.
Marriage, like all other good things, was created and given to mankind by God. As its creator and designer, God alone is able to instruct us in how to create, care for and develop this one flesh relationship. Faith and its overseers are obligated to make every effort to see to it that God and His intended design are honored.
Pre-marital counseling, although not mandated by Scripture, is consistent with Biblical exhortations to seek wise counsel in important decisions. Since marriage is an important decision, we require a period of counseling for any couple that requests Faith’s assistance in the participation of their wedding and/or preparation for their marriage.
It is of primary importance that both the bride and groom understand that Faith’s agreeing to marry or mentor is not necessarily confirmation that in fact they should marry. The man and woman are responsible to God for that decision, as we are responsible in determining the extent of our involvement in their union. It also follows that if for some reason we do not feel comfortable performing the wedding, it is not necessarily against the Lord’s will for the marriage to occur. We only ask you to pursue this most important decision with prayer and much counsel.
Thank you for considering how we can serve you in your marriage. We invite you to apply to begin the wedding process.
