We love weddings at New Covenant! We believe they are a fun celebration of God uniting a man and a woman together into a new family unit.
Because we believe marriage is an institution created and sustained by God, we believe your wedding is a sacred celebration. Your plans for the service should reflect that fact and also align with the beliefs and worship practices of New Covenant. Careful planning will ensure that your wedding is meaningful to you, your family, and friends.
PREPARE CLASS
Get your marriage off to a good start by taking our Prepare Class, a six-week class for engaged or seriously dating couples. The class is offered three times a year (usually in January, June, and September) on Sundays and is a requirement for couples who wish to have their ceremony at New Covenant.
Online registration is available at ncbc.church/Prepare. Cost is $75 per couple for the materials and the online Prepare/Enrich Assessment. Payment is due with registration. Contact us online for more information.

Let the planning begin!
Once your wedding is on the church calendar, we will walk through the planning process with you. We provide you with a Wedding Guide Notebook that includes the forms you need for the facility and technical support for your wedding as well as general information and timelines that we hope you will find helpful. As a part of our wedding ministry services, a wedding coordinator is assigned to you. She will work with you in regards to wedding supplies & procedures and will assist during the rehearsal and wedding day.
