Weddings

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).

2. Participate in Preparation for Marriage

The process of becoming one happens when you stand before God and your family and friends and present your vows to each other. The process of living as one in a covenant relationship takes some practice and we want to provide you with the tools to get started. For this reason, as you are making plans for your big day, we ask that you participate in this class, offered in the fall and spring.

Pre-Marriage Mentoring

Pre-Marriage Mentoring is required for all couples getting married at Wheaton Bible Church or by a WBC pastor. We encourage couples to begin mentoring 4–6 months before their wedding date.
This process includes:

  • SYMBIS Assessment – A personalized tool to identify strengths and growth areas. Assessment must be taken prior to the workshop.
  • One-Day Workshop – Learn biblical principles for marriage and connect with mentor couples.
  • Mentor Sessions – 5–7 meetings with a mentor couple to review your assessment and grow together.
  • Pastoral Meetings – 2–3 sessions with the pastor officiating your wedding.

This is more than a checklist—it’s an investment in your lifelong journey together.
