Wedding Policies

In order for a Hickory Grove Pastor to officiate any wedding the bride and groom will be asked to do and commit to the following:

1. Read over the Hickory Grove Statements on biblically sexuality, marriage, divorce and remarriage (if applicable).
2. Answer a Bride & Groom Personal Information Questionnaire.
3. Commit to going through premarital counseling at Hickory Grove by taking a class or meeting with a pastor.
4. Commit to read recommended books before the wedding day.
5. Commit to attending church on Sundays regularly.
6. Commit to join a Community Group and be an active attender of that group.
7. Commit to remain sexually pure, leading up to the Wedding day.
   God intends sexual intimacy to occur only between a man and a woman who are married to each other. God has commanded that no intimate sexual activity be engaged in outside of a marriage between a man and a woman (Hebrews 13:4).
8. Commit not to live together leading up to the Wedding day.
   Marriage is always a public, formal, and officially recognized covenant between a man and a woman. Where no such covenant exists, the church excludes the use of the facility or officiating ministers in instances where couples are living together before marriage.
