Congratulations on your engagement!
​
We are honored that you are considering First Congregational Church as the setting for one of life's most meaningful celebrations. For generations, our beautiful sanctuary has been a cherished place for weddings in the Emporia community. Many couples began their journey together here, surrounded by family, friends, and the sacred promise of love. We would be delighted to see our church once again become a welcoming home for weddings and celebrations of commitment.
​
At First Congregational Church, we believe love is a gift to be celebrated. Whether you are a member of our congregation or simply looking for a beautiful and meaningful space for your ceremony, we welcome the opportunity to help make your day special.
​
Our historic sanctuary seats up to 280 guests and provides a warm, elegant setting for both traditional and personalized wedding ceremonies. Our intimate chapel offers a smaller space for more private celebrations.
We strive to create a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive experience for every couple. Our clergy are available to help couples design a ceremony that reflects their values, their story, and the sacred commitment they are making to one another.
