Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be a member of PCPC to be married in the church?
Our church policy is to invite PCPC members, a child of a member, or members in good standing of other PCA (Presbyterian Church of America) churches to have a wedding ceremony at PCPC. For more details, please contact the PCPC Wedding Coordinator.

How do I become a member of PCPC?
By attending the New Members Class, and being approved for membership after an interview with an elder, you could become a member of PCPC. Please go to the New Members Class page to sign-up for the next New Members Class.

What do I need to do to reserve a date for a wedding?
The first step is to contact the PCPC Wedding Coordinator to set your wedding date. Next, complete Marriage Forms. Then, obtain approval from PCPC Pastor.

Is my wedding “official” once I have penciled in a tentative date?
No. The next step after having your tentative date penciled in on the calendar is to meet with your PCPC minister for approval. Until you have met with and have the minister’s approval for marriage and paid a deposit of $250.00 to PCPC, you may not act on your date. Once you are approved, the PCPC Wedding Coordinator will call you to confirm your wedding date and to schedule your first appointment.

Is the church available for wedding receptions?
Yes. Fellowship Hall is available for wedding receptions and may be reserved for your reception after your wedding date has been confirmed. All reception arrangements must first be approved through the PCPC Wedding Coordinator.

What music selections are available for my wedding ceremony?
There are some selections and guidelines that can be found in the Music section online. The Worship and Arts Ministry will help you select music and must approve all music selections.

Is there any pre-marital counseling available?
Yes. UNION is a nine-week course offered twice a year. Couples being married either at PCPC or by one of our ministers at another location are strongly encouraged to attend all classes in the series. This class covers topics such as the biblical foundation for marriage, finances, goals and values, communication, conflict resolution, and physical intimacy. The required fee is $30 per person which includes all materials, including a special dinner on the final night.

Is there a parking map available?
