New Life Church Wedding Request Form
Marriage is an institution created by God for a man and a woman to become husband and wife for as long as they both shall live. We want to ensure that any couple we marry is set up for a successful and lasting marriage.
Please fill out this form if you would like to participate in the New Life Church Pre-Marital Process (and to request a NLC Pastor to officiate your wedding if desired). Couples who use a NLC officiant are required to complete our pre-marital process.
OUR APPROACH TO PRE-MARITAL PREPARATION:
Officiants:
If a NLC pastor is officiating the wedding, couples will meet with their pastor at least two times. (Amount of meetings range from 2–4 depending on the officiant.) The first meeting will be so the pastor and couple can get to know each other and to talk through NLC’s approach to pre-marital preparation. The second meeting will be to plan the wedding ceremony and will take place within 6 weeks of the couple’s wedding date.
The honorarium for a NLC officiant typically ranges from $300- $1250 and is paid directly to the pastor by the day before the wedding for weddings located within 25 miles of NLC. If the wedding is further than 25 miles from NLC, there will be an additional travel fee. Payment can be made directly to the pastor performing the wedding before the day of the wedding. For the sake of family time, officiating pastors will likely attend either the rehearsal dinner or the reception.
Pre-Marital Class:
Couples will complete the New Life Church pre-marital class. During the class, the couple will connect with other engaged couples and our marriage mentor team while working through Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts by Les and Leslie Parrot. Couples should purchase one copy of the book along with an individual workbook for men and women before the class begins.
SYMBIS Assessment:
Couples will complete the SYMBIS personality assessment individually before attending the pre-marital class. A NLC Pastoral Care Coach will send the couple an invite to complete the assessment. Couples will cover the cost of the assessment (approximately $35 per couple).
Budget Planning:
Couples will work with a trained NLC couple for a free budget consultation.
Couples should contact budget@newlifekzoo.com to set up an appointment. This can be done at any time.
