Weddings

At Gymea Anglican, we believe marriage is a gift from God.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said of marriage that 'From the beginning of creation God made them male and female. "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one." So they are no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder'.

We’ll get you ready not only for your big day, but also for a lifetime of marriage together. We welcome even those with no church background, to share in the blessing of a Christian wedding.
