Pastoral Care and Prayer Partners
We offer free pastoral care, affording opportunities to discuss spiritual issues and concerns of our community. All pastoral care is private and confidential. We also offer referral to GLBT-friendly counselors and service providers. All pastoral care is handled by appointment, and all appointments are free of charge.
We also have a group of people who receive prayer concerns via email and pray about those requests. We have a need for prayer partners in our community. Please contact Rev. Kati Houts.
Holy Union and Commitment Ceremonies
These ceremonies are sometimes known as "gay weddings," and our church does offer ceremonies of Holy Union to gay or lesbian couples. Our pastor is licensed to officiate straight weddings (Holy Matrimony) as well. The requirements for Holy Union are:
1. Both members of the couple must be 18 years of age or older.
2. Neither member of the couple can already be married to anyone else. If previously married, proof of a divorce or dissolution of union must be on file at the church.
3. The couple must have been together monogamously for at least one year. (Exceptions to this must be discussed with the pastor.)
Please e-mail Rev. Kati for more information.
