Weddings
Prosper CRC is happy to participate in instituting Christian marriages for believers in Jesus Christ.
Marriage is a covenant, designed by God, and modeled after Christ and His relationship with His church. It is the lifelong and faithful union of one man and one woman before God.
The purpose of a Christian marriage is to glorify God in reflecting the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world through the marriage relationship.
