Care & Facilities

Weddings, Funerals, And Facility Reservations

Funerals

As a congregation, we want to bring comfort and peace to those who are grieving the loss of a family member or friend. Upon the death of a loved one, please contact our office (763-559-4300) to inquire about hosting the funeral at our church. As soon as possible, a pastor will contact you to assist you in planning the funeral service.

We are prepared to provide free coffee and cookies for your reception. If you would like a larger reception or meal, you will need to make other arrangements and be prepared to cover all the related costs.

We can arrange access to our foyer, sanctuary and easels prior to the ceremony for floral and photo displays. Our a/v technician will oversee the audio amplification, big screen projection and provide a video recording of the service. 

Our building is not generally available as a rental space for funeral services. We view funeral ceremonies as deeply spiritual ministry opportunities that should be officiated and overseen by a member of our pastoral team. Contact the church office at 763-559-4300 to discuss funeral policies and procedures in more detail.

Weddings

Thank you for considering our church and pastoral staff for this very important step of commitment: marriage. Please submit your wedding request using our online form, or contact our church office at 763-559-4300 with any initial questions.

On the online form, you can request a specific pastor to officiate at your ceremony, but our pastoral team will determine who would be best suited and available for your premarital counseling and wedding ceremony. It is our church policy to discourage our pastors from officiating at a Saturday wedding when they are scheduled to preach that evening at a regular weekend worship service.

As soon as possible, a pastor will contact you to schedule an interview to discuss your wedding plans. If you have not been contacted within a week of submitting your request, please verify that we have received your request by calling the church office.

Following a favorable pastoral interview, you must “save the date” for a wedding ceremony at our facility by submitting a $150 non-refundable deposit to the church office. This amount will be deducted from your total wedding fees. This deposit is not required for a ceremony hosted off-site.

Reserve a Space

If you are hosting an event as part of a ministry of Plymouth Covenant, the pastoral champion or point person overseeing the ministry should speak directly to the church office regarding a room reservation.

If you are looking to host an event that is not a ministry of Plymouth Covenant, this is the process:

  • Complete the FACILITY REQUEST FORM. The review and approval process typically takes about one week. If you are requesting significant resources or require special approvals, it could take up to four weeks.

  • A staff member will notify you ASAP that your request has been “approved,” “approved with revision,” or “denied.”

  • If your request is approved, you will receive a facility use agreement that you must sign and return to the church office.

  • We will reserve your room(s) after we have received a signed facility use agreement and any deposits or fees that are required. Please do not make significant plans or announcements until your event has been reserved.

Please be aware that we rarely allow outside groups to use our sanctuary for weddings, funerals, or other events. If you are making a request of this nature, we may require that a member of our pastoral staff is involved in planning and hosting your event.

Plymouth Covenant Church reserves the right to decline permission for any space rental request based on the sole discretion of our church leaders. Contact our office if you have questions at 763-559-4300.
