Greetings,
The staff and clergy of First United Methodist Church, Glendale, are guided by the sense that God's faithful love is the foundation upon which Christian marriage is built. We want to do more than help you plan a wedding, we want to help you lay a foundation for a marriage that will thrive and grow for as long as you live.
You will meet with the pastor who will perform your wedding at least once prior to the wedding to plan the worship service. We believe it is extremely important for couples as they prepare for their wedding day, to equally prepare for continued happiness in their marriage through premarital counseling. It is customary to schedule additional sessions with the pastor to discuss the marriage relationship and prepare for a life-long satisfying marriage.
It is your responsibility to schedule your first premarital counseling session with the pastor. We suggest the first visit be no less than 2-3 months prior to your wedding date.
God bless you as you prepare for this very special occasion and a long happy marriage. We look forward to getting to know you both.
