Marriage
At the heart of our spiritual growth is the impact of God’s living Word in our lives. We celebrate and give thanks for the gift of marriage. We are committed to help people build strong God-centered marriages where families can grow and thrive.
Weddings at Grace

In order to be married at Grace it is not necessary that you be a member of our church and/or from a Lutheran background. We are committed to help people build strong God-centered marriages where families can grow and thrive.

Marriage Counseling is done at Grace’s PrePair Marriage Retreat that is held twice a year: fall and early spring. The retreat begins on Friday evening for a two hour discussion with various “well-seasoned” couples from Grace who share their experiences in building a strong marriage. On Saturday, the pastors teach the biblical concepts of marriage and help couples understand how to build their marriage with God at the center.
Meet with a Wedding Coordinator who will lead the couple through the various steps of planning and preparation for the wedding.
