Policies and Request Forms

Weddings

Marriage is a proclaimed sacred covenant reflecting the Baptismal Covenant. It is a couple’s life-long commitment as they come together out of their own volition for a blessing. Marriage provides an opportunity to grow in selflessness as you serve each other and form your family. It is more than a physical union; it is also a spiritual and emotional union. This union mirrors the one between God and His Church. 

Services offered:

Baptisms

Baptism is a sacrament of initiation into the visible Church. Wesleyan covenant theology further teaches that baptism is a sign and a seal of the covenant of grace: Of this great new-covenant blessing, baptism was therefore eminently the sign; and it represented "the pouring out" of the Spirit, "the descending" of the Spirit, the "falling" of the Spirit "upon men," by the mode in which it was administered, the pouring of water from above upon the subjects baptized.

Services offered:

Pastor | The Senior Pastor will meet with you and the witnesses (optional) and will have final approval of the baptismal ceremony. The Senior Pastor will be part of all baptisms held at our church unless a prior agreement has been made with the Senior Pastor.
