The Wedding Process
Step 1 — Submit a Wedding Inquiry
Both individuals complete the Wedding Inquiry Form separately so our pastors can learn more about you, your relationship, and your desired wedding plans. You can access the form here.
Step 2 — Meet With a Pastor
A New Hope pastor will review your questionnaire and may schedule an initial conversation to discuss your relationship, spiritual life, and readiness for marriage.
Step 3 — Premarital Preparation
Couples will complete premarital counseling and marriage preparation as directed by the officiating pastor. This process is designed to strengthen and prepare couples for lifelong covenant marriage.
Step 4 — Plan Your Ceremony
Work with your pastor to coordinate ceremony details, rehearsal scheduling, venue logistics, and any additional planning needs.
Step 5 — Celebrate Your Wedding Day
Enter into covenant marriage surrounded by family, friends, and the church as you begin your life together before God.
What's Partnership?
Partnership is the pathway to step deeper into the life and mission of New Hope. It’s more than joining a group—it’s choosing to link arms with our church family in unity, purpose, and shared responsibility. As a Partner, you embrace the vision God has given our church, use your gifts to strengthen the body, and commit to helping us reach Plymouth County and beyond with the gospel.
What comes with Partnership?
By becoming a Partner, you step deeper into the life of the church. Partners participate in Partners Meetings, where we share vision, direction, and important updates about the ministry. With this greater level of commitment and accountability also comes a greater level of opportunity — including roles like Life Group leading, certain serve team positions, and other leadership opportunities reserved for those who have taken this step.
