Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I am interested in getting Married at SCC
A. Wedding Ceremonies at Southtowns Christian Center
Uniting a man and woman in holy matrimony who share a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is a sacred ceremony. As such, it is not only a great honor for us to perform the marriage ceremony but it is also a great responsibility before God. Wonderful personalized wedding services can be conducted here at Southtowns Christian Center based upon three requirements:
1. Acknowledge and acceptance of Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior.
2. Living pure and in separate residences.
3. Six months regular attendance at Southtowns Christian Center prior to the wedding date.
Q. Do you do Infant Baptism?
A. Southtowns Christian Center does not perform infant water baptism. Southtowns Christian Center will perform water baptism for children who have attained the age of reason with proper instruction and who voluntarily request it.
Infant and Child Dedication**
The voluntary dedication of infants and children to the Lord (prior to age of reason) is a wonderful and sacred event. It is a great honor for us to conduct this ceremony but it also carries with it an awesome responsibility as well. Rightly understood, parents who desire to dedicate their children to the Lord must of necessity, have lives that are first of all dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ themselves. Infant and child dedication ceremonies can be conducted here at Southtowns Christian Center based upon three requirements:
1. Parents' acknowledgement and acceptance of Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior.
2. Parents have regularly attended Southtowns Christian Center for six months prior to the dedication date.
3. Parents presenting children for dedication are legally married as man and wife. (We recognize that situations occur where single parents may desire to dedicate their children to the Lord. These instances will be evaluated on an individual basis.)
