Weddings at Centennial

Blessings -- and welcome to you -- as you come to Centennial Christian Church to prepare for your wedding! 

It means a great deal to us at Centennial to be able to share this meaningful time with you.  We want to do all we can to share our strong feeling of God’s presence at Centennial, and our support as a church family for your marriage.  

We begin by providing pastors, one of whom will meet with you for several sessions, to listen with you for God’s guidance as you build a joyous and strong marriage relationship for the years ahead.  The pastor will share with you a selection of several wedding ceremonies, and will help you to shape your wedding to express your deepest and best feelings for each other in the presence of God, family and friends. 

Other faithful members of the Centennial circle also will help with your wedding – our wedding coordinator, our church administrative assistant, our custodian, and at your request musicians.  Each of us gives of our best so that you will always remember this as a special and meaningful time of feeling God’s and God’s church’s care for you.  

As we welcome you into God’s house for this very special occasion, we pray for your blessing in your lives together.  The same deep Christian care that we now offer will continue to reach toward you in the days ahead, with an invitation to worship, fellowship and spiritual support, nurture of children, and opportunities to serve a world in need.  Know that we are always here.  We care about your family!
