WEDDINGS
The marriage service is a service of worship of God. In this context of worship, two people publicly declare their love for each other and promise to journey together in that love for the rest of their lives.
As a church community, we offer Anglican wedding services taken by an Anglican Priest. We are not a wedding venue available for hire.
We value the opportunity to work with couples thankful to God for their love for each other and wanting to ask God's blessing for the years ahead.
PREPARATION WITH THE VICAR
To help you prepare the Vicar offers the PREPARE/ENRICH programme which is described as “a leading relationship inventory and couples assessment tool".
Scientifically validated as a foundational program for premarital counselling, marriage enrichment, couples therapy, marriage mentoring and marriage education, PREPARE/ENRICH automatically tailors the content of the relationship assessment to fit each couple's unique relationship stage and family structure."
PREPARE/ENRICH involves both of you completing an online survey to help you identify the unique strengths and potential growth areas of your relationship. You then meet with the vicar 4-6 times to work through these. Those who have met with the vicar in these sessions describe it as a very positive way of spending some quality time growing in their relationship prior to making a final marriage commitment. There is a cost of $50.00 each for PREPARE/ENRICH.
