Marriage

We are dedicated to supporting couples in deepening their relationship with Jesus and each other. 

Marriage is a serious, life-long commitment, a profoundly sacred spiritual relationship meant to display the character of God. We affirm marriage is a beautiful opportunity to deeply know and enjoy your spouse and Christ.  

We envision strong, thriving marriages as part of a nurturing community, growing in love for both God and each other. Whether you're preparing for marriage or seeking to grow your relationship, we are here to support you in each season of your union. Join us to explore and strengthen your marriage with resources that nurture both your relationship with each other and Christ. 

 

Pre-Marriage Workshop 
Held each spring | Cost: $135 per couple 

Our Pre-Marriage Workshop is designed to lay a solid foundation for a lifelong, fulfilling marriage. This two-day workshop, based on Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott’s renowned Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts curriculum, provides invaluable pre-marital counselling. It equips couples with tools and insights to build a strong, Christ-centered relationship.

Marriage Course 

The Marriage Course, created by Alpha, offers practical guidance and support for couples looking to strengthen their marriage. This seven-week program, running concurrently with the Alpha Course, features engaging video content and provides a space for couples to connect over dinner. Childcare is also available.

You’re Getting Married 

We know there are many steps when planning a wedding. The ceremony itself is an important moment in the start of this new stage of life. We can help! 

Fill out this form to let us know you’re engaged.

 

Need an Officiant? 

Tenth Pastor 

If your officiant is a Tenth pastor, reach out to them directly to go through the SYMBIS pre-marriage assessment or attend our Pre-Marriage Workshop in the spring. 

If you would like to hire a Chinese Tenth pastor (Cantonese and/or Mandarin), please contact Leanne Chung. 

We suggest an honourarium ranging from $200 to $500 for the ceremony. 

Not a Tenth Pastor 

If your officiant is not a Tenth pastor, you can still benefit from our Pre-Marriage Workshop, which is held each spring (March or April). 

If you’re just looking for a Marriage Commissioner to perform a legal wedding in British Columbia, you can find one here.

Our Beliefs 

It is our practice to perform weddings for men and women who share the same faith commitment. We believe that God's intention for marriage is a lifelong union between one man and one woman. Sexual intimacy is only intended for marriage, and sexual intimacy outside this protective bond and co-habitation are contrary to God's good design for our humanity.
