Stockton Presbyterian is a wonderful sanctuary to host your wedding vows.

Our sanctuary is open to rental donations.   The suggested donation of $500 covers the use of the facility for rehearsal and ceremony, air conditioning/heat, and cleaning services. 

Husband and wife are required to meet with Pastor Ken for pre-marital counseling, or to receive pre-marital counseling from an approved ordained minister if you are having a guest minister perform the service.  Please contact Pastor Ken for more information.

Our organist can be available for your service.  His fee is $250.  Other forms of music:  soloists, quartets, etc can be arranged by the couple and contracted privately.

There is limited parking spots available in our driveway (space for 5-6 cars), but street parking is free, and the school lot is available when school is not in session. 

Becoming married in a service of holy matrimony is a service of worship unto Almighty God.  Yet it is an experience where photographs and videos are welcomed.

For more information, please email Pastor Ken at kengoodtaiyes@yahoo.com

Attached below is a document that Pastor Ken has presented to Session and distributed to members for their contemplation regarding possibility in our ministry and mission as a congregation. 

We are taking the season of Lent to contemplate its contents, and we will be talking about the document during our May Session meeting.  If you have any thoughts, constructive criticism, ideas or improvements to offer, please contact Pastor Ken or one of our Elders.

Sunday School will reconvene starting Sunday, September 11th, during the worship service.

We will be having a one room Sunday School program, with rotating teachers from our membership.  Classes meet in the main hall, immediately after the Lesson for Young Christians. 

Our theme this year will be “Jesus Christ”.  We will be using lessons created from the website, http://kidssundayschool.com

Children in grades Pre-K through 6th are invited to our Sunday School.  Children not in preschool are invited to participate in our nursery program.   Children heading to nursery are invited to the nursery room after the Lesson for Young Christians.
