Marriage at hclc
In May of 2013, at the “Marriage Summit,” the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) affirmed, on the basis of Scripture, that marriage is the lifelong union of one man and one woman. As a member of the LCMS, Hales Corners Lutheran Church conducts weddings that join one man and one woman who intend to be joined for their mutual lifetime (Genesis 2:2-4; Matthew 19:5-6).
our requirements
We ask that couples who choose to get married at Hales Corners Lutheran Church commit to each of the following:
