Do we have to be members of Spirit Church to go through the premarital process or have a Spirit pastor officiate our wedding?
No, you do not have to be a member of Spirit to go through our premarital process or to have one of our pastors officiate your wedding.
What are the guidelines for a Spirit Church pastor to officiate our wedding?
If you are interested in having a Spirit pastor officiate your wedding, premarital counseling is required prior to the wedding. If the premarital counseling is completed outside of Spirit, the counseling must be scripture-based, and we will need documentation of completion. Upload documentation to the wedding application above which includes the curriculum studied, the total length of the pre-marital sessions, as well as the name and number of the pastor who facilitated your process. In addition, we recommend a minimum of a $300 honorarium for a Spirit pastor who officiates your wedding and should be given on the day of the wedding.
Is there a cost for premarital counseling?
Yes, there is a cost of $80 per couple, which covers the online assessment and the materials used for premarital counseling.
