Weddings

We are very glad that you are thinking of coming to Christ Church for your marriage. In coming to Christ Church you will realise that you are not just simply choosing a delightful setting for marriage, you are committing yourself to a ceremony which expresses the Christian view of marriage. Christian marriage is a joyous celebration made before God as two people promise to live together, to love each other unselfishly and to be faithful to each other. We at the church want to do our part to help you prepare to make these promises with sincerity.  'God has given us marriage so that husband and wife may find comfort and companionship in each other, and live faithfully together for the whole of their lives.' We shall do all we can to make your marriage service a happy, relaxed and memorable occasion. 

Where to start

If you have not already done so, please telephone Debbie Bold on 07306 349752 who will take some details from you and arrange an interview with yourselves and the minister. At this meeting, a 'request for marriage' form will be completed and should you wish to proceed, a non-refundable deposit of £50 will be required.

What you have to do next

You will need to register your intent to get married at Christ Church Haydock URC with St Helens Registration Service. This is your responsibility and not the churches. You will need to take your birth certificates with you when you register, proof of address (e.g., a utility bill) and any divorce papers if relevant. Notice of marriages will be operated by appointment only. Please telephone:
