St John’s Church, Belmont

A Church of England & Methodist Church

Weddings

As the Parish Church of Belmont, anyone living in the parish, or who regularly worships at St John’s has the right to be married in the church. Since 2008 they also have a right by virtue of having a Qualifying Connection with the parish. These Qualifying Connections are:

• Baptised in the parish
• Having their Confirmation registered in the church register
• Lived in the parish at any time, for at least 6 months
• Parents lived in the parish at any time, for at least 6 months, during the person’s lifetime
• Attended worship at St John’s habitually at any time, for at least 6 months
• Parents attended worship at St John’s habitually at any time, for at least 6 months, during the person’s lifetime
• Parent or Grandparent was married in the church

In addition St John’s is able to offer weddings as a Methodist Church in the London Borough of Sutton.

We are sympathetic towards re-marriage of divorcees, and can also offer a Service of Thanksgiving after a Civil Marriage.

We are also happy to offer service of ‘Blessing’ or Renewal of Vows.

For further details or queries, please contact the Church Office, or the clergy.
