Houston’s First Baptist Church Wedding Policy Agreement

Houston’s First Baptist Church affirms that the Bible is the fully inspired Word of God, and the final authority in all matters. The Bible affirms that marriage is the first institution created by God for man and provides specific instruction as to its nature and requirements of conduct. Therefore, we encourage all couples seeking to be married to consult God and His word regarding their union. In submitting to the Bible as God’s Word, Houston’s First Baptist Church reserves the right to deny use of it’s facilities to any couple that openly rejects by statement or conduct the teachings of God in the Bible regarding salvation, marriage or Christian living.

I understand that it is my responsibility to contact the Preparation for Marriage Program (PMP) Coordinator, at 713-335-6469 to make arrangements to participate. The PMP Coordinator will guide us toward completing the program requirements at least 30 days prior to the wedding date. I also understand that a refund of money for this program is not applicable if cancellation occurs after the program has begun.

I am submitting, with the return of this application, the amount of $ 250.00 as a Wedding Security Deposit. I understand that cancellation of the wedding for any reason is cause for forfeiture of this deposit. All charges for my wedding will be due in full prior to my wedding date. I understand that nothing is officially on the Houston’s First Baptist Church Calendar until (1) this form and deposit are returned to the HFBC Special Events Director, (2) we, as a couple, have completed the Initial Minister’s Interview with an HFBC staff minister, and (3) I receive email communication that the date is confirmed. By my signature, I agree that failure to comply with HFBC wedding policies would be considered “disregard of policy” and could mean forfeiture of my Security Deposit.

Therefore, I have read the complete HFBC wedding policies available online; I understand the polices and costs; and I agree to follow the policies as written. I will do my utmost to see that members of my wedding party understand and follow these policies also.
