Weddings
In the Christian tradition a wedding is a worship service, the moment when two people, in the presence of God and their loved ones, give thanks to God as the source of their love by committing themselves to a married life together.
The Presbyterian Church of Upper Montclair hosts weddings for both church members and non-members alike, although members of the congregation have priority when scheduling.
To find out more about availability, amenities, requirements, and fees for weddings, at PCUM, contact the Church Office at 973-746-3854 or pcum@pcum.org.
Funerals & Memorial Services
A funeral or a memorial service is a worship focused on giving thanks for the gift of life as well as the Good News that God's love reaches and embraces our loved ones even across the boundary of death.
PCUM's pastor is available to provide comfort, to assist with the spiritual and practical realities of living with grief and loss, and to work closely with the family to create a service that honors God's gift of the deceased’s unique life. Funeral and memorial services are always under the direction of the church’s pastor.
