Extra time and energy are required for weddings, as they are additions to the regular church program.
Consequently, while we would not intend to add an enormous burden of expense, the schedule of fees is
as follows:
Deposit
A deposit of $150 is required to secure the wedding date and time. The deposit will be forfeited if the
wedding is cancelled. The deposit will be returned after the wedding provided the church standards and
policies were respected, no damage occurred and the keys to the building have been returned.
