Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! We share in your joy and are delighted that you are interested in having your wedding ceremony at Westminster Presbyterian Church. We look forward to working with you to ensure that your wedding will be worshipful, dignified and Christ-centered.

At Westminster, we believe that “marriage is a gift God has given to all humankind for the well-being of the entire human family,” in accordance with the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Christian marriage is, first and last, a service of worship. Our pastor takes seriously her responsibility to prepare couples not only for the wedding ceremony itself, but also for their life after the ceremony. Couples seeking to be married at Westminster should contact the church office to arrange for a meeting with the pastor. One or two premarital counseling sessions is required. Please call the office at 309-673-8501 to schedule an appointment.

“What goes through your mind as you sit in the sanctuary and look around?

As I sit in my pew and look up at the cross with the wonderful light illuminating it, I am reminded of why I am at Westminster on this particular day. The cross reminds me that Christ died for me and, in a sense, I am to do the same in my daily life. The brightness of the cross illustrates for me the brightness of living my life in the way of Christ.”
