As a Christian, when it comes to proposing, keeping your faith at the forefront will make it even more special for you and your future spouse! Here are 15 Christian proposal ideas that are heartfelt, creative, and oh so meaningful.

1. Church Steps Proposal

This can be the church you attend together, the church you grew up in, or just a beautiful church you both love to admire. Propose on the steps of the church, a place that is special to you both.

2. Worship Night Surprise

Attend a worship night together or have one just the two of you in your living room. Arrange to have a moment during the night where you can pop the question, in private or surrounded by friends, family, music, and faith.

3. Prayer Walk Proposal

Go on a prayer walk together in a beautiful park or nature reserve, reflecting on your relationship and praying together. End the walk with a proposal, creating a sacred memory in a tranquil setting.

4. Mission Trip Engagement <might replace>

If you both have a passion for mission work, plan a proposal during a mission trip. It adds a nice layer of shared purpose and dedication to your engagement.

5. Customized Bible

Present your partner with a customized Bible with “Will you marry me?” written on the inside cover or highlighted in a favorite passage.

6. Serenade

Arrange a musician or a group to serenade your partner (or go for it yourself!) with their favorite Christian song before you propose, adding a deeply personal and romantic touch.

7. Cross Jewelry

Get her a cross bracelet or necklace, hiding the ring with or attached to the jewelry, and get down on one knee. Not only will she have a ring to symbolize the love you share, but also a cross to symbolize the faith that you both share.

8. Church Picnic Proposal

Set up a picnic at your church or any church in a town you both love. P.S. Savannah, Georgia has so many beautiful churches with nearby parks to choose from! My husband proposed to me on the steps of Wesley Monumental United Methodist Church and it was so special.

9. Charity Event Participation

Volunteer at a charity event together, and propose during a meaningful moment, highlighting the service and love you share for others.

10. Christmas Proposal

So what if some consider it “overdone.” We’re Christians and we love Christmas! Ask for her hand surrounded by the story of the ultimate gift of love.

11. Sunrise Prayer

Choose a scenic spot for an early morning prayer together and propose as the sun rises, symbolizing the start of the new chapter you’re about to start.

12. Make Her Favorite Dinner

Keep things private. Skip the photographer and just focus on each other! Cook her favorite meal at home, light the candles, pour a glass of something fancy, and don’t forget the dessert!

13. Mountain Getaway

Head to the mountains and let God guide you! Wait for a moment where you’re filled with an overwhelming peace and pop the question!

14. Stained Glass Moment

Arrange a visit to a church with beautiful stained glass that holds significance for both of you. As you admire the art and the light filtering through, share your intentions and propose, making the setting as memorable as the moment.

15. Scripture Pathway

Create a pathway in a private garden or a secluded natural setting, lined with verses from Scripture that speak to love, commitment, and God’s plan. Lead her along this pathway, explaining the reason for choosing each verse, and propose at the end under an arch or a beautiful tree.

Each of these Christian proposal ideas incorporates faith and love, making your proposal more than just a question, but a testament to your shared beliefs and future together.
