A wedding is one of the most joyous and holy moments in life. The covenant of marriage between two people and God is rightfully marked by a meaningful service of worship. As two Christian people join their lives together to establish a Christian home, the Church rejoices with them and is eager to help make the occasion of the wedding sacred, beautiful, and memorable. It is not necessary for a wedding to be elaborate to be beautiful. The true beauty of the service is found in the couple’s commitment to one another and to God.


The basis for Christian marriage is community and love of Christ. We invite active participation in the worship and ministry of the church. We encourage couples married at Shady Grove UMC to attend worship services on a regular basis and become involved in the life and ministry of the Church. If you are not currently a member of Shady Grove UMC we invite you to explore the possibilities of making Shady Grove UMC your church home.


In the happy excitement of planning a wedding, many questions as to details arise. Many of these answers are in our Wedding Handbook.
