Weddings and Marriage Preparation Course (MPC)
Christian marriage should reflect the relationship between Christ and His church. For this reason, we want to prepare couples for a life-long marriage under Christ. MPC is designed to help participants understand what the Bible says about God’s design for marriage, and how Christian marriages are to serve and honour God.
Weddings at KPRBC
- To be eligible to be married at KPRBC, and to have the wedding solemnised by a pastor of KPRBC, the couple needs to be members of KPRBC.
- Couples who are already legally married under the Registry of Marriages are considered married in the sight of God. They will not be married again in church.
- The couple is expected to continue in fellowship with the church in serving at KPRBC after their wedding.

MPC is held once a year over 2 full Saturdays (23 July and 26 August 2025). Participants must commit to attending the whole course.
What else will marriage preparation involve?
The couple will be paired up with an older, married couple from the church for the purpose of mentoring and encouragement during marriage preparation. The mentoring commitment will also involve 4-5 meetings over the course of the first 12 months of the marriage.
What should I do before attending MPC?
Participants are to read the book “Married for God” by Christopher Ash as a couple and to discuss the contents of the book.
