Weddings

How do I schedule a wedding at Heritage?

The commitment of the HCC leadership to shepherd the souls God has entrusted to them is expressed in HCC policy about not performing child dedications, baptisms or marriage ceremonies for those who are not members of the HCC local family of God. Our reasoning is that performing these rites carries with it the person’s permission for the church leadership to shepherd them in the future, which is very unlikely to ever occur in the case of nonmembers. Our chief goal is to nurture the salubrious life, which can involve restoration as found in 2 Corinthians 2, where Paul describes the results of a successful restoration. We certainly understand that life is complex and dynamic.  Therefore, HCC leadership intends to evaluate all situations with extenuating circumstances on a case-by-case basis. This option ensures that love, not law, governs our actions and that “Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8).
