Wedding Information
Members and non-members alike are welcome to be married at Holy Trinity. We understand marriage to be a liturgy of the church, a celebration of God's work in your life. As our Wedding Book says:
People from all cultures and all religions get married. As a result, marriage is not the sole possession of the church. That you have chosen to be married in the Christian Church means your wedding at Holy Trinity will be a worship service. Therefore, as is the case in all Christian worship, our primary focus is on God. We come together to praise and thank God for the good gifts that the Creator has showered upon the human family and upon the church. God gives us marriage as the foundation for human community. Marriage brings us a joy that begins now and is brought to perfection in the life to come.
As you come before the altar to pledge your love and life-long faithfulness to each other, the Church offers what it has been authorized by Christ to give: God's blessing. As you bow your heads you will hear the words which make a Christian wedding unique: "The Lord God, who created our first parents and established them in marriage, establish and sustain you, that you may find delight in each other and grow in holy love until your life's end. Amen."
In order to help guide the wedding-planning process, and to anticipate your questions about having a wedding at Holy Trinity, our staff has put together a Wedding Book to provide a set of uniform guidelines. In addition, we have prepared a list of Guidelines that includes standardized fee information.
The planning process for a wedding at Holy Trinity starts with an Initial Consultation with the Pastor. During that conversation, you will receive the Wedding Book and Guidelines, as well as information about Premarital Counseling (required). To make an appointment with the Pastor, call the church office at (574) 271-2000 or email holytrinity@holytrin.com.
