On behalf of the church family here at Rocky Mountain Calvary, we rejoice with you in your wedding. Marriage is one of the most important commitments a person can make. Aside from your decision to receive Christ, no other decision will have as great an impact in your life.
In Christian marriage two individuals make a vow before God to fulfill, to the best of their ability, all that God requires for marriage as outlined in the Bible. Because of the great significance and importance of the vow, marriage should be approached prayerfully, patiently and honestly.
This booklet is intended to give you the information necessary to make this a meaningful occasion and assure that the wedding and surrounding tasks run smoothly. Please complete the Premarital Questionnaire online @ www.rmcalvary.org as soon as possible.
We look forward to meeting with you and assisting in making this a special and memorable time.
PROCEDURES
Performance of wedding ceremonies, receptions, and/or vow renewals is an accommodation by Rocky Mountain Calvary and it ministers to the members of RMC. It is not an obligation. The Bible teaches that there is safety in counsel. It is our desire that Jesus Christ be glorified in every wedding and event, thus we require that you read all the wedding information very carefully to understand our procedures and requirements.
The RMC Life Events Coordinator is responsible for tracking a couple through the process and will lead each couple through the requirements. The Life Events Coordinator also becomes the primary contact for the couple as they process through the system until the couple is assigned to a Wedding Director.
Important information:
- The couple must contact the church office with their intent towed six months prior to the desired wedding date. Rocky Mountain Calvary will try to accommodate your wedding date, but we cannot guarantee your request until after the enrollment interview and counseling are successfully completed.
- A member of the Pastoral Staff will conduct an enrollment interview with the couple to review the Questionnaire. If approved for counseling, we can reserve the facility pending completion of counseling.
- With the consent of the Pastoral Staff Member, the couple must complete premarital counseling classes. The purpose of premarital counseling is to help the couple build a marital relationship that will be pleasing to both God and them. (Even
if both partners are Christians, it is best not to assume that they will automatically have a happy and fulfilling marriage.) Marital success involves walking in the Spirit, commitment of total self, faith toward God and knowledge of the Biblical requirements for men and women in marriage. It is our desire to help the couple reach these goals for their union.
- Once the couple has met all the requirements set forth by RMC, the couple is assigned to a Wedding Director to begin ceremony preparations.
- Please be aware that as the fellowship continues to grow it becomes more difficult for Pastor Eric to officiate weddings. Please consider who you would like to officiate your wedding if Pastor Eric is unavailable. If you are uncertain of which pastors are available, the Life Events Coordinator can help with suggestions.
- Pricing for weddings, receptions, and vow renewals can be given upon request. Email the Life Events Coordinator for a list of pricing details: brendaa@rmcalvary.org
WEDDING TIMES
Wedding times and rehearsals are on a first come, first served basis. The reserved date can only be guaranteed after a member of the Pastoral Staff has completed your enrollment interview, you have successfully completed your premarital counseling and you have signed our Facility Rental Agreement. Do not print invitations until you have confirmation from the church office stating that your time and date have been confirmed.
