Getting married in the Kirk celebrates that we do not live our lives and our relationships in isolation, but with God. The Bible tells us that "a chord of three strands is not quickly broken" [Ecclesiastes 4:12] so, as you and your partner are married, we believe that God is that third strand, binding and blessing your relationship. While Currie Kirk is a beautiful location for your marriage, we trust that the greater significance would be knowing God's presence with you as you set out in married life.
Can we get married in Currie Kirk?
You do not need to be a member of the church to get married in the Kirk. The Minister would meet you to discuss your needs. If you are a member of another church it is a courtesy to ask your Minister before getting married elsewhere.
