Rev. Gregory A. Smith, Pastor
Welcome to the Shelburne
United Methodist Church. We are pleased that you are considering solemnizing
your marriage in this church, seeking the blessing of God as you begin
your life together. It is assumed that persons approaching the pastor
for a wedding are requesting that their marriage be a “Christian
Covenant.” A Christian Covenant is a life-long covenant formed
between two persons before God - a promise you make in God’s presence.
United Methodists believe that marriage is a holy institution, given
to us by God as a blessing and a responsibility. In a Christian wedding,
a couple seeks God’s grace and blessing on their marriage and
the new family it creates.
