90-Day Advance-Request Policy

Weddings, baby dedications, church events, facility-use requests for planned activities, celebrations, and other scheduled programs must be submitted at least 90 calendar days before the requested event date. This allows the pastoral and administrative teams adequate time for review, scheduling, facility preparation, staffing, coordination, and approval. Requests submitted fewer than 90 days before the requested date will not be accepted through the regular planning process. Funeral and bereavement requests are exempt from this requirement.

How the 90 days are calculated

The system compares your submission date with your requested event dateand requires at least 90 full calendar days between them. The earliest eligible event date is calculated automatically each time a request is opened — there is no fixed cutoff date. Requests with 89 days of notice or fewer will be declined by the online form.

Applies to

• Wedding requests
• Baby dedication requests
• Church event-planning requests
• Facility-use requests for planned activities, celebrations, and scheduled programs

Generally not subject to the 90-day rule

• Pastoral Care Requests

If your request is inside the 90-day window

Our online forms will not accept a requested date fewer than 90 calendar days from your submission date for the categories listed above. If you have an unusual circumstance, please contact the church office directly and we will prayerfully consider your request.
