Onsite Wedding Application | Bismarck campus

We are very excited about your upcoming wedding and our potential involvement in your special day. Please complete this form in all of its entirety. Please note that Evangel does not begin processing wedding applications until nine months prior to the wedding date. Please allow 30 days for your application to be processed, and the Care Department will contact you regarding the status of your application. 

Pre-marriage Process

You are required to attend a seven-week pre-marriage process course, as well as three pre-marriage one-on-one sessions with the Pastor who will be marrying you. These sessions should begin at least three months prior to the wedding date.
 
The first step is an online assessment through SYMBIS: Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts. Once your wedding application has been approved, you will receive an email with SYMBIS login information and instructions about the assessment. Following completion and receipt of results, the first pre-marriage session will be scheduled with the officiating Pastor. 
 
Upon approval of your Wedding Application, you will be sent a Wedding Guide, which contains further information about the pre-marriage process.
