Premarital and Wedding Ministry

Choosing marriage is an important step and we want to help you build a strong foundation for life. The Premarital Ministry can provide engaged couples guidance and support through a six to eight week premarital preparation course.

Weddings at Brookwood are a service we provide members and attendees of our church. In order to plan a wedding at Brookwood, or to be married by one of our pastors, the couple must first complete the premarital process.

Getting Married? Start Here!



The Brookwood Premarital Mentoring process is required for all couples desiring to be married at Brookwood and or by a Brookwood Pastor.

The sooner you get involved with us the better. The mentoring process requires a minimum of 90 days. To start the process you must be an engaged couple with a set wedding date set. You as a couple must also be willing to agree with and sign the Brookwood Premarital Covenant. Each of you will have to complete an online survey, meet with the Associate Care Pastor, and meet with a mentoring couple 6 to 8 times.

Please understand that in some cases, if you have less than 90 days we may not be able to accommodate your request.

Brookwood Premarital Covenant

Brookwood Church, holding up God’s standard for the marriage covenant:

As a couple desiring to be married at Brookwood Church and/or have our wedding ceremony performed by a Brookwood Pastor, we commit ourselves to honor the following guidelines as a way of acknowledging to God, our families, and friends that we chose to honor God’s standards in our marital relationship.

  • We acknowledge Jesus Christ as the only Son of God and have accepted from Him, the gift of salvation.
  • We commit to be united in one church family where we will faithfully attend and serve in ministry.
  • We commit to not live together from this date until the time we are married.  We also commit to reside in separate rooms in the event of family gatherings, vacations, etc.
  • We are committed to abstain from sexual relations from this day until we are married.
  • We are committed to take the premarital mentoring process seriously by being prepared for sessions and being honest with each other and our mentor couple.
