Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!
Next to receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, choosing a spouse is the most important decision you will make. We believe that marriage is a gift from the Lord, given to us to put His greatness on display for the world to see (James 1:17, Matthew 5:14–16).
Please note that in order to best steward the resources of the church as well as the time of our staff and pastoral team, our wedding services are available to those who attend Wheaton Bible Church or Iglesia del Pueblo as their church home. They are also available to those who are related to a member of the church (e.g. son/daughter or grandson/granddaughter).
However, our marriage ministries are open to everyone, which includes our Preparation for Marriage class and Re|Engage marriage/care programs. You are invited to participate in any of these as a way to invest in your marriage.
We would enjoy the opportunity to host your special day and help you prepare for your new life together! If you are interested in getting married at Wheaton Bible Church and/or by a Wheaton Bible Church pastor, the best place to start is by each the bride and groom filling out our Wedding Application Form
For more information on having a wedding at Wheaton Bible Church, download our Wedding Guide (facility and cost details on page 37).
