Confirmation for possibility of Solemnisation in church for non-christians

[quarkz]

Hi,

I just want to confirm this issue. My christian friend told me that it's not a problem at all. He even recommended The True Way Presbyterian church. However I read in this forum that it is not possible. I'm not in Singapore now and I wouldn't want to call churches one by one.

What my gf wants is just a simple Solemnisation in a church with some relatives. Thanks

Actually, the first question is: How "Christian" is your Christian friend?

Most churches will not allow pre-believers to book the place. If they are available for booking, then they are only available for Christian weddings. Weddings are held in churches because Christians view their marriages as a covenant with their Creator. I doubt the churches will compromise their place of worship and house of the Lord.

If you just want to use a venue that looks like a church, try the chapel in Singapore Art Museum or CHIJMES.

If you really want an actual church for your wedding, then go convert, get saved by Jesus, join a cell group, baptise your partner and yourself, and undergo their marriage preparation course. Then talk about getting married in a church.
