Weddings

We hold marriage in high regard and treat the consideration of marriage very seriously. The pastors are happy to perform Christian wedding ceremonies for those who have already made Southwest Bible their home church family.

When desiring to be married at Southwest, please contact Linda Gemmill at 503.524-7000 for pre-marital questionnaire applications. Once the church has received both completed questionaires, a pastor will set up an initial meeting to discuss their pre-marital counseling plan and wedding ceremony.

Pre-Marital Counseling

Successful completion of the pre-marital counseling plan is required prior to a pastor of Southwest Bible performing a wedding ceremony.

Marriage on the Rock Conference

A six-session conference, “Marriage on the Rock,” was held at the Portland Downtown Marriott a while back. We have provided the videos of those sessions online as a service to the church community.
