Weddings at Pilgrim Lutheran Church are set within the context of a larger ministry to families. The wedding ceremony is a worship service honoring the Triune God, and is an occasion to support the bridal couple with the power of God’s Word and the prayers of the church. Couples wishing to be married at Pilgrim are required to meet with the pastor for pre-marital counseling.

Before contacting the church please read the following marriage requirements.
Christian marriage is a rite of the church and a spiritual event. Therefore, when held within the church, the wedding is a service of praise, thanksgiving, and worship, in which God’s guidance and blessings are asked for the couple as they pledge their faith and love to each other “until they are parted by death.” Those desiring to be married at Pilgrim Lutheran Church or by the pastor of Pilgrim Lutheran Church are expected to be active members at Pilgrim Lutheran Church or relatives of members and actively involved in their own local Christian community. Under special circumstances the pastor at Pilgrim may be allowed to perform weddings outside of these boundaries after consultation with and approval by the Board of Elders at Pilgrim Lutheran Church.
The following requirements are to be met to secure approval for your wedding at Pilgrim Lutheran Church. Please note, the pastor can refuse the right to service at any time if he feels it is appropriate. This includes the day of the wedding.
