Marriage

As you plan to solemnize your relationship in a life-long sacramental partnership, you may consider Christ Episcopal Church as the place for your marriage. Christ Church welcomes both same sex and opposite sex couples. Our clergy can help you in your decision-making and plans and can also clarify any concerns you might have about a wedding at Christ Church. Arrangements for your wedding at Christ Church begin with speaking with the Rector. Christ Episcopal Church encourages all couples to be married in the church where they plan to worship together as a couple.

We would welcome your presence in our worship and our faith community as you prepare for your marriage and commend you for wanting seeking God's blessing in a Christian context.  Our marriage service is in our Book of Common Prayer.You can see the text here: The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage (bcponline.org)

Please join us for worship on Sunday at 8am or 10am.  You will be able to see the size of the church for yourself.  After attending a few weeks, if you want to have a conversation about being married here you can make an appointment to sit down and talk more about your hopes and dreams for your life together.

There is a program of pre-marriage preparation here that is scheduled over several meetings in the 6-8 months before the requested wedding date.  We do not "reserve" a marriage date on our calendar until you have participated in the first two of the preparation sessions.

Our parish priest is the officiant as all marriages that take place here at Christ Episcopal Church.  We have several options for music played on our organ.
