Ecclesiastes 4:9-12: “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil... And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

WEDDINGS

Divine Redeemer is a popular site for weddings due to the buildings quaint and traditional style appearance. We get a variety of requests for weddings from member families as well as those unrelated to the congregation. Our policy is that member families get first preference but that nonmembers may be married here if the schedule permits.

The Wedding Ceremony is the spiritual union of a man and a woman who vow, before God, their friends and family, to faithfully love and cherish one another. The wedding is a worship experience in which the couple seals a covenant modeled after the covenant between Christ and His church. Every wedding shall respect scriptural principles, the customs and policies of Divine Redeemer's congregation and the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. While wedding ceremonies performed by clergy are legally binding, the primary role of the clergy is to conduct sacred worship in which a couple is joined in the eyes of God.

Below are a few guidelines to following when using Divine Redeemer as your wedding ceremony venue.
