Re: NON denominational church

Try a protestant church...I am Lutheran & I know my old pastor was very relaxed about stuff...we don't have pre-cana or anything that I am aware of. I am not getting married in a church or by a pastor so I am not 100% sure about this, but i do know we tend to be more 'forgiving' than other churches...haha

Here is a link to some...

LUTHERAN CHURCHES

Re: NON denominational church

if you want truly nondemoninational, look for a Unitarian church. They're about as nondemoninational as it gets.

I don't know of any off the top of my head, but maybe if you have a clearer idea what you're looking for it will be easier to find.

Try local community churches.

Re: NON denominational church

Non-denominational churches are not mainline Christian churches. . . so basically that rules out Catholic Churches, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, Preysbyterian, etc. etc. I would look for churches that actually specify that they are nondenominational in their name or local community churches...

Re: NON denominational church

Thanks guys..

I guess I'll keep looking.
We did want to have the church as close the the RH as possible. The last resort would be to have the ceremony there..

Re: NON denominational church

i know for a fact that you can get married in a methodist church. FH and I are methodist and our church will marry u even if u r not of the methodist faith...but a christian...i believe. i would def. check them out bc i know they are very open.

Re: NON denominational church

I am getting married at a Episcopalian Church. They have no requirements. Just a donation and show up on the day of. Its in East Meadow not really out east. But maybe call around to local churches.
