weddings at Mountain
Weddings are a joy-filled event. It is a privilege and pleasure to participate in the process and celebration of a beautiful wedding. It is an even greater honor to support and encourage marriages in which two people are committing to love, honor and serve one another for a lifetime. At Mountain we care deeply about healthy, Christ-centered marriages because healthy marriages are critical to Jesus’ mission to make disciples. In marriage we’re called to grow as disciples, practice Christ-like love, and are challenged to be disciple-makers: teaming up with another person for the sake of the mission of the Church.

Process
We believe Christian marriage is an incredible reflection of Christ’s love and sacrifice for the church and witness to the broader world. We view it as a beautiful and treasured gift from God, and we value it so highly that we want to help every couple prepare for it with a great sense of clarity about what it is and how it works best. This is the message we strive to convey while holding to a process that allows us to demonstrate our commitment to marriage and to couples who are striving to create this kind of marriage. Therefore, the following guidelines have been established to clarify the practices and procedures. We believe that when followed they can greatly benefit the couple and the Church.
- Attend Mountain’s services regularly. Since we are interested in supporting marriages rather than serve as a wedding venue, we ask couples to participate in the Mountain community.
- Attend Courageous Conversations for Couples, a premarital seminar that allows couples to build a solid foundation for marriage.
- Complete the SYMBIS assessment and utilize this report as part of your premarital conversation with a Mountain pastor. *Note: The registration fee for the SYMBIS assessment is included in the Courageous Conversations for Couples registration.

Details
Due to the active nature of Mountain’s congregation and the logistical considerations this presents, we are limited by the number of weddings we are able to perform each year. We will, however, make every effort to address your request in a timely manner. Weddings will not be conducted on Sundays, holidays, or between December 20 and January 2.
