Wedding Ministry
Scheduling & Reservations
Our facilities may be reserved for the weddings of regular attendees, members, and their
children. Please complete and return the Reservation Request Form to the church office.
Do not send a check with the Reservation Request Form. You will be contacted regarding
confirmation of your request for our facilities as soon as possible. If your date is
confirmed, you will receive a confirmation form in the mail to be completed and returned
with a $150 deposit. Dates may be guaranteed no more than nine months in advance and
applications must be submitted at least 3 months in advance of your proposed wedding
date. A wedding/reception should end no later than 10:00 p.m.
Pastor(s) & Premarital Counseling
Once the application is submitted, the Grace Wedding Coordinator will match the couple
with the officiating pastor. The Wedding Coordinator will then arrange to have the
couple contacted by the pastor (or his assistant) for the initial introductory meeting. The
use of other ministers for wedding ceremonies conducted at Grace Bible Church must
first be cleared with our Pastoral Staff. The couple will need to provide a doctrinal
statement from the (non-Grace) minister before the ceremony date can be confirmed.
Premarriage counsel is required for weddings performed at Grace Bible Church and for
weddings performed by our Pastors. Both the bride and groom are expected to attend the
training. Grace’s premarital counsel program, provided on an “as available” basis, is
highly encouraged. When an approved non-Grace minister is performing the wedding,
assurance of premaritial counsel must be provided to the Grace Pastoral Staff. Counselors
and pastors reserve the right to postpone a wedding. You will be contacted by the Grace
Premarriage Counsel Ministry approximately 2–3 months before the wedding to arrange
counseling sessions.
