| Is pre-marriage counseling for four weeks prior to the wedding. One hour per week plus weekly homework assignments. If they don't have time or desire, neither do I. I am beginning the process now of not performing any for non-members. In the past, if you are a member, I will not take your money. If your a non-member I have asked for a donation to our church Proverbs 3:5-6; John 13:34-35; Acts 1:8 |

| I never charged to perform a wedding ceremony or officiate a funeral whether a member/attender or not. If they asked what my charge was I would respond by saying that there was none. Most of the time, an honorarium was given.A family member of ours, whose father served on the local pastors council, was told by their pastor that his fee was $200 and $150 for his wife to sing at their wedding. This was a church of about 150. The pastor told them this up front before a fee was even discussed. |

| We used to charge $500-$1000 for non-members to have their wedding at the church. Included in that fee was payments for the minister, custodian, and usage of various rooms within the church (sanctuary, fellowship hall, classrooms, etc.) |

| No Herman, it ain't selfish, greedy or presumptuous at all.Standard protocol at Pikeville is:1. I give a copy of our church wedding policy (which is 7 pages and covers all the details) to every prospective couple.2. There is a brief section dealing with honorariums, which states that based on one's investment of time/talent/service, it is customary to include in the cost of the wedding an honorarium for the following: musicians, sound personnel, singers, etc. This way, although no honorarium amount is specified, they know from the git go that one is expected. |
