I am not religious, therefore I do not go to church. I want to know what kind of church I would be able to get married in being that I am not a member of any.

Pretty much any church other than Catholic, but why not get married in your back yard? or a park or beach? you can get the number of someone to wed you guys out of the phone book. Or call your district courthouse.the judge can marry you.
congrats and Good luck
PS the chuches may require yoou guys to attend marriage counseling before they marry you..but they will even if you're not a member.

Some churches rent their facilities, some don't want the hassle. It has to go before a church board so don't be disappointed if you're turned down. And you must adhere to that church's rules regarding music & wedding attire, etc.& usually you must use thats church's clergy.
There are many other places in which to hold a wedding; beach, Art gallery, house, park, winery, museum, even the venue where you intend to have the reception.
Asking God's blessing on your marriage doesn't belong to any particular religion. A lot of couples consider themselves more 'spiritual'.
To find an officiant type into Yahoo your city, state & wedding officiant (no 's' on the end) You will have a few to choose from, usually on the 2nd page. The larger bridal sites seem to get top billing. If you do go to the bridal sites, please visit the site of someone you think you might like. Those bridal sites make vendors & officiants pay for your contact info so you may not hear back from someone you'd hoped.

Well I'm not religious either so for my wedding we are doing our wedding ceremony outdoors and getting married by justice of the peace. It solved our problems and we get to be married with a beautiful setting in the background. just make sure if it rains that you will have a backup site for indoors. If it is a church ceremony you want...there are churches that will marry non members you just have to pay more than a member would. I'm a Methodist and I know they will marry non members, Good Luck

First of all, you should ask yourself why you want to be married in a church if you are not religious.
I do not attend church, but I still consider myself religious because I follow my faith privately. I found a small historic chapel where church services are not held but it can be rented out for ceremonies.

Well, since you are not religious and don't go to church, you would NOT get married in a church. That would be totally wrong and hypocritical. Just get yourself to the courthouse, or have a backyard wedding with a jp.

Why don't you have a look at some chapels, they have no religion tied to them, you can have a jusitce of the peace marry you or a celebrant. My fiance and I are looking at this option as we are of different faiths, so it makes it easier. You still get a setting similar to a church, without the religion tied to it.

You might try a Unitarian church. It's kind of non-sectarian.

non denominational/community church or check out nearby colleges..most have chapels and they are not for any specific religious denomination.
