Your Wedding at St. John United Church of Christ
Please click here for a copy of our wedding guidelines and information.

We are delighted that you have chosen St. John to be a part of your joyous occasion. St. John views marriage as a sacred covenant relationship between a man and a woman. To be married within the church by one of its ministers, you acknowledge the importance of the vows each party is making. A couple should seriously contemplate the marriage commitment before entering into it.

Since we see weddings as a part of our ministry to our congregation, it is not our policy to “rent out” our facilities for weddings performed by clergy not affiliated with our congregation. Some exceptions may be made, for example, if our pastor is not available for a specified date. It is the policy of St. John to give priority to its members who are scheduling weddings. To schedule a wedding, you must be a member of St. John Church. Exceptions to the membership requirement are solely at the discretion of the ministers.

The following steps need to be taken to begin:

First—Contact the church office at 636.946.0961 to see if the church is available on the date you desire.

Second—If your chosen date is available, the church office will mail you a wedding packet. This packet will contain the wedding guidelines and information and an application. Your wedding date will NOT be guaranteed until the completed application is returned to the church office. During the second week of December through the second week of January, there will be Christmas decorations in the sanctuary, they will not be removed for any weddings.

Third—After you have returned your completed application, a letter will be sent confirming your date, what minister will be performing the wedding and who your wedding coordinator will be. You will then contact your minister, at least two months prior to the wedding date, to meet with them for pre-marital counseling.
