wedding and pre-marital counseling

No matter what your circumstances are, we would be glad to invite a conversation with you on our convictions regarding marriage and God’s design for it. To get married at The Chapel, we require that both the groom-to-be and the bride-to-be acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In addition, we require every couple to go through our pre-marital counseling process with our team and fill out a corresponding PDI form. Lastly, we ask that both parties are leading pure lives and willing to live in separate residences prior to their wedding date. 

•  To get started, please fill out this form to allow us to get to know you better and to get some basic information about your wedding day.  After completion of this form, someone from our team will reach out to you.

• We also require that both bride-to-be and groom-to-be fill out this Pre-marital Questionnaire.

• Lastly, please purchase the book 12 Questions to Ask Before You Marry by Clayton and Charlie King, you will need this for your first Pre-marital Counseling session. You can either purchase the book at Stir at our CrossPoint Campus or here is a link to buy the book online.

Our pre-marital counseling process typically involves four sessions with one of our pastors or trained biblical counselors. The amount of sessions may range based upon situation, life circumstances, and preference of our counselors or pastors. We will go through the book 12 Questions to Ask Before You Marry by Clayton and Charlie King, so we would ask you to purchase the book, complete the reading assignments, and come prepared to each session ready to discuss the content.

Ceremonies can be held at any one of our four Campuses (The Andrews Chapel at our CrossPoint Campus or one of our Main Worship Centers at our Cheektowaga Campus, Lockport Campus or Niagara Falls Campus). Ceremonies can also be offsite based on the availability of our pastors and location.

While we only allow Pastors from The Chapel to officiate weddings onsite, we would still be glad to help and support if you are getting married offsite by another officiant. Specifically, if you wanted to still receive pre-marital counseling from our team, we encourage you to do so! Please view our “How to Get Started” section above.
