Interested in Getting Married at Gloria Dei?

We believe marriage is a holy institution that was created by God to be between one man and one woman to reflect His love, faithfulness, and commitment. Marriage is much more than a legal contract, but is a covenant (lifelong promise) a couple makes before God, as they seek to reflect His design for human relationships in the way they love, serve, and commit to one another. Unlike human contracts that can be broken, a covenant reflects God’s faithful love and is meant to be honored through thick and thin. Just as Jesus devoted Himself to His Church, husbands and wives are called to sacrificial love, respect, and service to each other.
Weddings at Gloria Dei are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. You do not have to be a member to request a wedding; however, due to the high volume of wedding requests, members of Gloria Dei are given preference. To begin the process, please fill out the form below, and we will contact you with the next steps.

Pre Marital Counseling

Pre-marital counseling is a guided process designed to help couples prepare for marriage by addressing key aspects of their relationship through biblical wisdom, practical discussion, and spiritual guidance. It equips couples with the tools they need for a healthy, God-honoring marriage and helps them establish a strong foundation before saying, “I do.”
Pre-marital counseling intends to strengthen the couple’s relationship through open communication and understanding. It helps identify potential challenges, equip couples with conflict resolution skills, provide biblical guidance on marriage roles, and encourage a Christ-centered marriage. The goal is to prepare the couple for lifelong marriage, not just the wedding day.
All couples are encouraged to connect with the pastor performing the wedding to hear more about the pastor's personal approach to pre-marital counseling and to schedule the pre-marital journey.
