Weddings

Wesley United Methodist Church is honored to host the Service of Christian Marriage, conducted by one of our pastors. We love weddings – but even more, we celebrate the gift of marriage and take our role in strengthening relationships and commitments seriously.

We congratulate you if you are considering Wesley United Methodist Church for your wedding ceremony! Whether in our sanctuary or Atherton Chapel, every effort will be made to ensure that your ceremony is beautiful and dignified.

Please note that Wesley acknowledges and welcomes all couples in a committed adult consensual relationship, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity,  who seek a lifelong Christian covenant together.  Professing membership at Wesley UMC is not required, but we do believe a relationship with the Church is important.

You will find a link to our Wedding Guidelines below. Please read these guidelines carefully. Please call or email the church office (309-827-8046). We will be able to give you information on availability and fees.

After your initial contact with the church office, you will contact the officiating pastor to make an appointment. After you meet with a pastor, you may make a deposit and book the wedding. We will also invite you to participate in pre-marital preparation counseling – either with one of the pastors or through a Wesley program called “Marriage 101.”

We look forward to serving you and encourage you to contact us with any questions. May the Lord bless you as you plan your wedding day and prepare for your life together.

Sincerely,

Wesley United Methodist Church Staff
