We at Altoona Christian Church want your wedding to be a meaningful and joyful celebration. We also want your marriage to be fulfilling as well as lasting.

By choosing a Christian church, you affirm the importance of God in your life and your marriage. In choosing the church, you affirm that you understand that marriage is a covenant of faith, and that you are on a journey with God. In the Spirit of Christ, you are making a statement that you want to build your marriage upon mutual trust, respect, and love for each other.

As the pastor of this church I pledge to work with you through six meetings to help you develop your relationship and build communication skills. We will explore your relationship strengths and growth areas; learn skills to resolve conflicts; and develop personal, couple, and family goals.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7
