We affirm that marriage is a gift of God through which Christians make a covenant
with one another and with God.
We affirm that in Christian marriage two people give themselves to each other
in the full intention of a lifelong commitment.
We affirm that this unity is a creation of God and is greater than the two individuals.
From statements adopted by the 30th General Council (1984) of The United Church of Canada.

Who will officiate at our wedding?
Our Minister is Reverend Heather Leffler. Heather can be reached at 519-265-7385 or hleffler@rogers.com . Normally, all weddings will be conducted by our minister. Arrangements may be made to have another minister participate in the service.
