FACILITY USE POLICY
General Principles
In planning for and conducting weddings, the biblical teaching of the church should be observed:
1. It is the “House of the Lord” (Psalm 135.2);
2. It is the “House of Prayer” (Luke 19:45);
3. It is the “House of Worship” (Jeremiah 26:2).
The nature of the services should be kept consistent with the purpose of the Lord’s house.
