Christian Marriage

A Christian marriage is a covenant in which a couple enters into a lifelong, permanent relationship. Jesus Christ plays an integral role in bringing the couple into a deeper level of love and commitment. It is important that both the man and the woman approach this covenant as followers of Jesus, each having a personal relationship with Christ as expressed in the New Testament.

Weddings

Weddings are a ministry to our members rather than a civil service. We have a pastoral concept of the entire wedding process that includes laying a strong spiritual, emotional and financial foundation for your relationship. We accomplish this goal through our premarital mentoring program and by having you meet with a caring pastor. Statistics show that couples who participate in a strong premarital program have stronger, healthier and more fulfilling marriages. You must be willing to complete our premarital mentoring process. If a pastor is concerned about the timing of the wedding or the readiness of the couple to be married, it is within his discretion to withdraw as the officiating pastor.

Cost

The premarital mentoring program costs $150, which covers the Prepare/Enrich program, administrative costs, and sessions with marriage mentors and pastoral staff.

Expectations As A Volunteer

While we understand that being a part of the Worship Arts Team is a volunteer position, we do have some expectations that each of our leaders must follow. These are to not only protect yourself, but they are to uphold the effective witness of New Heights Church and our mission to display Christ to the community around us, and mostly to honor and respect the name of Jesus Christ. Each team member should conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, both at New Heights events, and in his or her whole lifestyle. We expect direction, not perfection, but we ask the you would carefully read and consider the following 8 expectations:

#1

I desire to live a lifestyle worthy of the name of Christ, and seek to glorify him by living Life in the Spirit as seen in Galatians 5:13-26

#2

I will not indulge in pornography, recreational drug use, or banned substances. I will not participate in excessive/abusive alcohol use.

#3

I will seek to joyfully engage the whole body of Christ while serving. I will be welcoming, encouraging, patient, and kind in my words, actions, and body language with the staff, team, church members, and guests.

#4

I will joyfully attend New Heights Celebrations (Sunday Mornings) even when I am not scheduled to serve.

#5

I will attend and engage in a weekly New Heights or Light Company Connection Group

#6

I understand it is my responsibility to come to practice ready and prepared, seeking to serve and help, not perform and entertain.

#7

I understand it is my responsibility to serve when and where I am scheduled, or to find my own replacement if I am unavailable.

#8

I understand it is my responsibility to regularly check and interact with Planning Center Online (PCO) including blocking out dates.

We want to pray for you!
