Guidelines/Policies
for Weddings At
Morning Star Baptist Church
|
Contact the Church Office
When you contact the church office to express your wedding desires,
the office will then put you in contact with the Wedding Coordinator.
The coordinator will guide you through making the necessary arrangements
for your special day.
Submit Your Request in Writing
Submit your request in writing with the engaged couple's name, wedding
date, and wedding rehearsal date to ensure the availability of the
sanctuary and the Pastor. Once this is approved by the Board, the
coordinator will then assist you in arranging the necessary meetings
between you and the Pastor.
Pre-Martial Counseling Sessions
Pre-martial counseling sessions are available by
the Pastor. You may ask questions and/or discuss concerns you may
have regarding marriage. Counseling sessions are a vital part of
marriage preparation and a lasting relationship.
Church Facilities
Please DO NOT move any items in the main
sanctuary without first getting the approval from the Pastor. All
furniture items are to remain in their designated location.
Dressing areas are available in the lower fellowship
hall only. The administrative offices are prohibited.
Assure that when using our sanctuary or fellowship
hall for the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, you must provide
your clean-up committee. Floral arrangements, candelabras, candle
wax dripping, etc. must be removed from the sanctuary immediately
following the ceremony and pictures have been taken. This will give
us ample time to have the sanctuary ready for service on Sunday.
Use of the kitchen and fellowship hall will
be supervised by Kitchen Staff and Trustees.
Eating will only be allowed in the Fellowship
Hall
