Weddings at Third City

We are so excited for you upcoming wedding, and more importantly, your marriage. We believe in marriage as God created it to be, so we ask all couples to understand the following:

  • Marriage is a covenantal relationship between one man and one woman.

  • We ask all couples living together prior to marriage, move apart until their wedding day.

  • We require premarital mentoring for all couples before they are married in our building or officiated by our ministers.

What is Marriage?

Marriage is a covenantal relationship between one man and one woman. This relationship between two imperfect, broken people, is one that comes together for the purpose of honoring God through a lifetime of love, forgiveness and grace. Two people become on flesh by leaving their parents and pursuing one another and placing Christ at the center of all things. 

We find it very important to define what marriage is as revealed through God’s Word. It is to this end that we desire to help couples come together in this covenantal relationship. We do this by guiding and instructing how two people can pursue God’s desire for their individual lives and their lives together in marriage. 

Marriage Mentoring

This is a special day for you and your fiancé and because of this we want to help make it great! We believe the best marriages are built on God’s word. It’s because of this that we abide by what God says is right and good. 

We do hope you would allow us the opportunity to walk you through God’s design for marriage in our premarital coaching. This mentoring happens with a trained married couple who come alongside you with the purpose of teaching and demonstrating what the Bible says about marriage. If there are things about a couple which does not align with the truth of God’s word, we can decline.

When a couple begins this journey toward a covenantal marriage we provide a series of tools that will aid the couple in clarifying what marriage is and what God designed it to be, working through relational compatibility issues, cleaning up any past emotional or spiritual baggage they may be carrying with them and directing them toward a God honoring relationship in several key aspects of marriage.
