Looking for a beautiful space for your Civil Union or Wedding? Unity is open and welcoming!
Welcome Statement
on Civil Unions & Marriage
Unity Lutheran Church, Chicago
November 2011
A Civil Union or Marriage takes place when two people, drawn together by their love for each other, exchange vows of commitment and fidelity. The Christian Marriage service in the church is a public acknowledgment of that private commitment. The service also acknowledges the effect of the private decision upon the community. Joy and happiness are shared; support is requested and given!
Illinois issues a Civil Union License for same-sex or opposite-sex couples, and a Marriage License for opposite-sex couples only. We believe that God blesses both equally, and celebrate that in your service. Unity’s pastor is available to officiate, and is authorized by the state to sign your license.
Whatever faith tradition or place of worship you come from, we believe that faith and trust in God becomes the cornerstone on which the civil union, marriage and family are built. This is a faith and trust shared by the community of Unity Lutheran Church throughout your life together.
