Weddings

Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 

(Ephesians 5:1-2)

Worshipping God is central in the Christian wedding ceremony.  It is an act of public worship by the couple and their church.  The bride and groom and congregation join together to give thanks to God, to praise God, and to ask God’s blessing and presence in their marriage.
 
Historic First Presbyterian Church of Anderson offers a beautiful setting for weddings.  Facilities available for wedding ceremonies include the sanctuary, seating capacity 400, and the chapel, seating capacity 94.  The Chenault Parlor and the Kirk (Fellowship Hall) are also available for receptions. 
 
We ask that the bride or groom have a previous relationship with the church either through worship or family.  All requests for weddings are subject to approval by the Session upon recommendation of the Pastor.  The wedding committee is available to assist in planning for use of the facilities and will direct the wedding.
