Our Hope for You
It is the hope and prayer of our church members and staff that your experience of the Service of Christian Marriage will be a deeply personal and meaningful one that will serve as the basis of a strong and fulfilling marriage.
MDUMC considers it a holy privilege to be part of the celebration of marriage. The Service of Christian Marriage is a worship experience. The minister officiating at the wedding does so as a part of the authority granted him/her by the church in ordination. Every effort is made to assist marrying couples in planning and implementing a service that is personal and intimate, yet consistent with generally accepted practices of worship. Any alterations to the Service of Christian Marriage will only be made in consultation with the officiating minister.
