Celebrating Relationships

Weddings

St Mark's and the worship space at The Forum are both places licensed for Christian Weddings. We have slightly different rules (set by law) from the Church of England as to who may be married in the church. Heterosexual couples who live in the London Borough of Greenwich and those who are a part of the life of the church (even if they live outside the borough) may ask to get married in our buildings. If you make a request to get married we will encourage you to come along to our worship for a while. This enables you to get to know us and what we stand for and the church members to meet those who will be celebrating in our buildings.

Civil Partnerships

 Recent changes in legislation have made it possible for same sex couples to register a Civil Partnership. At the time of signing the partnership no religious ceremony is allowed. Equally, unlike marriage, the church may not register the civil partnership. The Church Meeting of Greenwich United Church acting as a part of the United Reformed Church has agreed that civil partnerships may be conducted by the minister. Again we would encourage a couple planning to celebrate a partnership to come along to our worship.

Whether it is the blessing of a civil partnership or a wedding you would like to celebrate please get in touch with Martyn, our minister, so that he can talk with you about the possibilities.

Fees

Fees are payable for a special service whether it is a wedding or a civil partnership. The fees are set to reflect the cost of using the building (including the people who open up, clean etc) and to make a contribution to the funds of the church. The minister will discuss the fees payable and the deposit required when you meet with him.
