Wedding Officiant Request

Form Entry

Congratulations! Marriage is a sacred covenant established by God for the purpose of demonstrating the kind of love Christ shows His church, and is intended to be a life-long union between one man and one woman. Getting married is an exciting time in your life and GFC is honored to be asked to be a part of it.

Please fill out the following form to request a GFC pastor to officiate your wedding. All couples being married by a GFC pastor must complete premarital counseling through Sparrow Ministries. Sparrow charges a fee for this service. Our pastoral staff will only officiate weddings where at least the bride or groom is a regular attendee.

GFC Officiant Preference

We understand you may have a preferred pastor for your wedding. Because of ministry responsibilities and busy schedules, our pastors’ calendars are often booked a year in advance. Please remain flexible and understanding, as your preferred pastor may not be available on your wedding date. Selecting a pastor indicates your preference but does not guarantee availability. An honorarium to the officiating pastor can be paid directly to the pastor. Honorariums vary by officiant. Any travel and/or hotel expenses incurred as a result of being an officiant are to be covered by the couple. Please plan on including a seat at the ceremony and reception for the officiant's spouse.

What expectations do you have for the pastor?

Please allow up to 10 business days for a response. Questions? Email gracecares@gfc.org. Thank you!
