Weddings 

We are excited you are interested in getting married at Restoration. It is our hope that before you enter into marriage, you will each make a serious commitment to follow Jesus Christ and invite Him to be a part of your life together as husband and wife. To live consciously in the presence of God, and to call on Him daily for His wisdom and love, is the greatest way to build a healthy and strong relationship with one another.

Getting Married at Restoration

In the doctrinal statement of Restoration Anglican Church, “We acknowledge God’s creation of humankind as male and female and the unchangeable standard of Christian marriage between one man and one woman as the proper place for sexual intimacy and the basis of the family.”

In order to get married at Restoration, either the bride or the groom must be an active member. Both the bride and the groom must be baptized Christians. If either the bride or the groom has been previously married and divorced, the bishop of our diocese must approve the remarriage.  (This process takes longer, so please contact a Restoration clergy member as soon as possible.)  All weddings at Restoration must be approved by and are at the sole discretion of the rector.

Clergy from Restoration always preside at weddings at Restoration. With approval from the Rector, clergy from outside our parish are welcome to assist.

The First Step

The first step in getting married at Restoration is to meet with Nathan Dickerson, who coordinates weddings at our church. The purpose of this meeting is to get to know you individually and as a couple and to assess your readiness for entering the pre-marriage program.

Below is our wedding guide, which gives details about the items listed here as well as additional details about the ceremony and space at Restoration.
