We are delighted at Cypress Creek to be a part of one of the most joyous occasions of your lives and welcome all Christian wedding services! A wedding can be held in any setting, but the choice of The Centrum or The Forum as the site for your wedding service has some distinctive characteristics. Our wedding and marriage ministries are here to assist you in planning your wedding and more importantly, to help prepare you for a lifetime commitment in marriage. We consider the ceremony to be a sacred event in which the bride and the groom pledge themselves to one another in the presence of God.
Our wedding policies reflect our conviction that a wedding ceremony is a worship service. These policies apply whether the wedding is a large event attended by many persons or a small event attended only by members of the immediate family, and regardless of church membership. The wedding introduction often says, “We are gathered here today in the presence of God…” This belief is inherent in our wedding policies.
Cypress Creek Christian Community Center welcomes you as you begin to plan your wedding. Our venues include a quaint space in the Chapel, a small intimate family ceremony in The Forum or a larger wedding in The Centrum, we hope to have the pleasure of hosting your special day.
