Q: Are there fees associated with funerals or weddings?
A: If you are an active member of the Church there are no fees for the use of Jerusalem-Mt. Pleasant or for Rev. Wood. This also extends to the active member’s immediate family. If the family has to use another church, it will be the family’s responsibility to pay any fees associated with that particular church. A fee schedule for nonmembers can be obtained from the Trustees. 

Q: What is required to have a wedding at Jerusalem-Mt. Pleasant?
A: Contact Rev. Wood to schedule premarital counseling and scheduling of the wedding. If you are a member, there are no fees. If not, please contact the Trustees for the fee schedule.
