Weddings & Funerals

WEDDINGS

Congratulations! We are so excited to serve you during the process of marriage preparation. It is a privilege and pleasure to participate in the process and celebration of a beautiful wedding. It is an even greater honor to support and encourage marriages in which two people are committing to love, honor and serve one another for a lifetime. At Rosedale we care deeply about healthy, Christ-centered marriages because healthy marriages are critical to Jesus’ mission to make disciples. In marriage we’re called to grow as disciples, practice Christ-like love, and are challenged to be disciple-makers: teaming up with another person for the sake of the mission of the Church.

Though the culture has evolving definitions of marriage, we believe that it is God alone who has the ultimate authority to prescribe and describe the marital relationship (Gen. 2:24; Matt. 19:1–9; Mark 10:1–12). Because of this understanding, we will only recognize marriages that meet the biblical definition: a covenant relationship between one gender­-normative man and one gender­-normative woman. The pastors, ministers and staff of Rosedale Baptist Church will only participate in weddings and officiate marriages that meet this definition.

* Facilities are only permitted to be rented to members of Rosedale Baptist Church and Rosedale Christian Academy.
