Weddings

A wedding is a profound moment of commitment, where vows of unity and loyalty are exchanged, enriching your lives and strengthening society. For Christians, marriage is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, celebrated in the presence of God and witnessed by loved ones.

​

Church weddings are a significant step, undertaken reverently and responsibly, as marriage is a life-long relationship blessed by God to foster love, support, and the care of children.

​

If you’re considering a Christian marriage, St John’s Baxenden & St Paul's Accrington warmly welcomes you. Join us for a service to explore our community and discuss your plans with the vicar.
