So you're getting married and would like to secure the services of the church? We know you must be very excited! Congratulations from the Pastor and the entire church family!
The MHBC Wedding Page is a terrific place to start. This page is designed to give you a glimpse of what to expect of your church and yourself.
It is our pleasure to share with you information about wedding policies here at MHBC and to assist you in any way we can to assure that your Wedding Day is as extraordinary to you as it is to us.
It is important for all persons seeking to use the church facilities to read the following guidelines. All persons who chose to schedule a wedding at MHBC must read these guidelines and agree to abide by them. In this way, your wedding will be a very exciting event and this is our goal.
I. A Wedding at MHBC is a Sacred Ceremony
 Here at MHBC, we take very seriously the sacred joining together of persons in holy matrimony. Given the skyrocketing divorce rate already more than 50%, the Pastor requires a minimum of three (3), premarital counseling sessions between the bride and the groom.
Sanctuary Weddings
Weddings may be held in any setting, however, the choice of the Sanctuary is the most desired location and has some very distinct implications.
Our policy applies whether individuals are members of MHBC or nonmembers. They also apply whether the wedding is a large gathering or a small event attended by the immediate family.
II. Scheduling Your Wedding
You will want to plan as early as possible so that the use of the church is arranged without conflict. The date of the wedding is set in consultation with the Pastor and Church Hostess upon completion of your premarital counseling.
The Church Hostess will issue you a Church Request Form that must be returned to the Hostess within two weeks of issue, with your deposit. A tentative reservation is held for two weeks, at which time, you must return the request form with your deposit. Failure to return the request form within this time frame will result in your not being allowed the use of the church. The deposit is refundable up to 90 days before the wedding and/or before any meetings are held with the minister, church organization or the Church Hostess.
Our church provides the services of a trained and competent Hostess to assist you at the time of your special day. The Hostess will assist you with wedding plans, and arrangements inside the church. Your contact with the church will be through the Hostess. They will provide guidance in all aspects of your wedding.
