We are so excited to serve you during the process of marriage and wedding planning. We offer many resources and much support in helping you plan and execute your rehearsal and wedding.

SCHEDULING A WEDDING
All requests for weddings at FOC are subject to approval based on our mission. Please review the following procedures as you move forward with scheduling a date for your wedding:
- Complete the scheduling form to indicate the day you wish to have your wedding. You cannot schedule a wedding more than one year ahead of time and no less than three months prior to your desired date. Our wedding coordinator will contact you to confirm availability. Confirmation does not guarantee the date for your wedding. The date will only be held when we receive your completed wedding application and the requested deposit.
- Once we confirm your desired date is available, complete the Wedding Application. You will receive an email confirming that we've received your application and officially booked your date. Then you will be referred to FOC's Wedding Coordinator to set up a meeting to discuss the church's policies.
- It is required that all couples being married by a Pastor complete a premarital counseling course before marriage. Contact the Church Office for a list of recommendations.
- During an agreed upon time prior to your wedding date, our Wedding Coordinator will meet with you to discuss final details, including ceremony specifics, decorations, and production needs. The remaining fees are due no later than two weeks prior to your wedding date.
