Congratulations on your plans to marry! Most of the information you will need to begin preparing for your wedding at Bethlehem may be found here.

1. If you are interested in celebrating your wedding at Bethlehem, first download our wedding guidelines and read them over.

2. Once you have read these guidelines and agree with them, please call the church office (419-287-4182) to make sure the date you desire for your wedding is available.

3. Complete and fill out the wedding application and submit it with your check for $30, payable to "Bethlehem Lutheran Church." This check serves as your deposit to hold the date and will cover the cost of the online pre-marriage inventory you will complete as part of your pre-marriage conversations with the pastor. Once this application is received with your deposit and you have confirmed wedding date with the pastor by phone or in person, your wedding is officially on the church calendar.

4. Begin to work through the wedding workbook in preparation for your first meeting with the pastor.
