Our policies are intended to assure that weddings at First Presbyterian Church are services of worship, which reflect our concern for the sanctity of marriage. As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) we are legally bound by our denomination guidelines and our church's views of Christian marriage.

Our ministers are bound by their ordination vows to abide by those requirements. These pages are designed to help answer preliminary questions. Our staff can answer others not addressed here.
