A Celebration of Blessing at the Matthew Church and Haunerfeld Park
On June 27, 2026, the Protestant Church in Gelsenkirchen and Wattenscheid will open a special space for love, faith, and community. Simply Get Married! combines church wedding and blessing with an open, festive atmosphere – dignified, spontaneous, and full of spiritual closeness.
An Experience of Faith Between Church Space and Nature
The Matthew Church on Cranger Straße and the adjacent Haunerfeld Park create a place where Christian tradition and personal life stories come together. Visitors experience a religious experience supported by prayer, blessing, and a clear liturgical framework.
Wedding or Blessing: How the Moment Suits You
The Pop-Up Wedding Festival is aimed at couples who want to spontaneously get married or blessed. For a church wedding, a civil marriage certificate is required, and one person must be Protestant. A blessing is open to all couples and emphasizes the shared yes to God's blessing.
Live Music and a Festive Framework
Music, encounters, and an open atmosphere characterize this day. The event invites participants to pause, feel gratitude, and celebrate their relationship in a spiritual community. The quiet interior of the church and the two designed locations in the park offer different forms of experience.
Community, Pastoral Care, and Welcoming Liturgy
The offering is rooted in the tradition of Protestant pastoral care and a caring theology that centers on closeness, trust, and dignity. The community opens a space where personal life paths are connected with the Christian message of hope and blessing.
Conclusion
Simply Get Married! provides a special framework for couples who want to trust their bond to God's blessing. Those looking for a faith experience with a festive atmosphere, community, and personal depth will experience an unforgettable day live on-site.
