Weddings

The coming together of a man and a woman in marriage is a sacred occasion. With this in mind, our staff is highly committed to do our best to make your special day a wondrous and celebrative event.

For our church staff, your wedding is a blessing from God, brought upon you by the very personal love and commitment you share with each other. We will do our very best to make your wedding day a memorable one -a day you will be able to think back upon over the years, and recall to each other with happiness and joy.

In our church we accept everyone who wishes to bless their wedding with God's love. Previously married couples are welcome and we do not require church membership to perform your wedding.

Our pastor, Dr. Jeffrey E. Frantz performs all weddings in our sanctuary. You can schedule a visit to the church Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:30pm by calling (305) 822-4313. If you are only available on weekends, feel free to attend the Sunday worship service at 10:30am, or drop by right after service at 11:30am.
