“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. -Ephesians 5:31-32

Congratulations on your engagement, and thank you for wanting to have a celebration at Trinity marking your covenant of Christian marriage!

Christian marriage is a joyful covenanting between a man and a woman in which they confess, before God and human witnesses, their commitment to be united as husband and wife. In celebrations of Christian marriage, people gather to praise God for the covenant of grace and reconciliation made with us through Jesus Christ, to hear it proclaimed fresh and new, and to respond to it as they witness your own covenant of Christian marriage. It is our desire to help you prepare for that kind of celebration in our facility.
