Premarital and Wedding Officiating

Premarital and wedding officiating

Marriage is a sacred gift from God and to be held in honor. Here at FBC we want to help couples prepare for a lifetime of oneness and not just focus on a ceremony. We offer MERGE, designed to help equip you for marriage in a fun, authentic, and engaging environment. We offer Merge in both a class setting and a 2×2 mentoring experience.

If you would like to have one of our pastors, deacons or elders help perform your wedding, Merge is a requirement as preparation for your marriage. To set up a planning appointment or to ask a question email info@4fbc.org.
