Christ Church Kennebunk

Christ Church is a lovely and historic building, where hundreds of weddings have taken place. Equipped with a hybrid pipe organ as well as a grand piano, a soaring ceiling, and elegantly simple decor, it is the perfect location for a traditional wedding.

Our pastor is always happy to meet with bridal couples to plan a meaningful and dignified ceremony.

The church has excellent facilities, such as large dressing rooms, a commercial kitchen, and a spacious fellowship hall which can seat 80 people, for wedding preparation and reception. (Note: No alcohol is allowed on the premises.)

Marriage in the Church

Marriage, in the teachings and beliefs of Christianity, is analogous to the relationship between God and God’s people; “I will be your God and you will be my people.” (Genesis 17:7) The Bible is about people trying to live faithfully and honorably in this covenant relationship with a loving and faithful God. Marriage is founded on this image of love and faithfulness between God and the community of believers. So, when you are married in a Christian church, you are supported by and, in turn symbolize a sacred relationship. Thus, the wedding ceremony should be approached with great joy and reverence.
