It is customary for the wedding to occur at the church of the bride. There are, however, other considerations that can play a big part in your choosing a church such as; cost, size of the building, location of the building, and etc.

Immanuel's sanctuary is located on the corner of Lincoln Ave. and Elm Ave. (Hwy. 41) about four miles south of Fresno. Her sanctuary will hold up to 350 people.

Immanuel's policy for the use of her sanctuary includes the use of her pastor. There is never a charge for the use of the buildings nor for the pastor, but it is a package deal. One cannot "rent" the building as if it were a town hall or social club. When you get married at Immanuel, you are saying that I am your pastor, and Immanuel is your church. You become members of Immanuel Lutheran Church, Easton.

The exception to this rule is that the pastors of Easton Southern Baptist, St. Jude's Roman Catholic, Easton United Presbyterian, and any ELCA pastors are invited to use our facilities as if their own.

Other issues to be considered that may affect your decision are our restrictions on music, cameras and videos. Please refer to those sections in this booklet.
