Weddings involve a lot of details, which means you probably have some questions. Here are some answers!
Priority for scheduling weddings is given to members of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church. All members must complete at least 6 pre-marital coaching sessions with a member of our ministerial or coaching team to be married in our sanctuary. Additionally, you must complete 1 coaching session with Pastor Dow prior to your ceremony.
While there is no set fee for getting married by a The Grove Pastor, couples traditionally provide an honorarium to the Pastor between $250 – $500 to compensate for the significant investment of time.
Weddings are most typically scheduled for Friday evenings and Saturdays, prior to 4:00PM.
In terms of where to get married, that’s totally up to you! You’re responsible for finding the church of your choice, however, this will depend upon the schedule and availability.
Our Pastor and Ministerial Team only perform weddings for church members. However, non-members have the option to rent our facility for weddings. These requests are considered on a case by case basis.
