Note: We believe that marriage is a permanent, life-long relationship between a man and woman as defined in scripture. Therefore, we will only officiate, host or endorse a marriage between one man and one woman as instituted by God. To be married at Prestoncrest, or to ask one of our ministers or elders to perform your wedding, this course must be completed before your wedding date.
