At Houston’s First Baptist Church, we believe marriage is a sacred covenant—God’s first ordained institution—and we are honored to walk alongside couples as they begin this lifelong journey. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a large celebration, our facilities and staff are here to help make your day meaningful, memorable, and rooted in faith.
“Marriage is honorable; let us all keep it so…”
As you navigate the many details of your wedding, we invite you to consider not only the ceremony, but also the spiritual foundation you are building together. A strong marriage begins with a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. We encourage every couple to pursue God’s direction both individually and as a couple, and to seek His guidance as you commit to live pure and holy lives.
A completed application and a $250 deposit are required to reserve your date.
This required program is designed to help couples establish a Biblically-based, Christ-honoring, Spirit-led marriage.
