 Is it appropriate to title this list "Wedding Party" in our program? I hesitate because really only two of them (BM/MOH) comprise the actual wedding party. Does "Participants in the Service" sound too stuffy? Other suggestions for what to call them?

 Will this be all together on one page? Why does it need a title at all? People will understand why there's a list and what it's about.

I'd shy away from "participants" for any sort of religious ceremony. Hopefully, everyone in attendance participates by praying.

If you must have a heading, maybe "honorees"

 They will all be on one page. Every single program that I have received at a wedding has a title above the list of people (most of the time it's "Bridal Party"). It just seems awkward to say "Bridal Party" when most of them aren't really in the bridal party, KWIM?

 So you only have 2 BMs and that's it or 2 on each side? 

You could just put:

Wedding Party
Jane Smith, relationship to B/G
Lois Jones, relationship to B/G

or the "honorees" as Elisabeth suggested.

Only one attendant on each side - a best man and a maid of honor.

Yes, I already have the relationships spelled out in the program (just didn't include them in my original post for brevity). Thanks for your ideas.

 I would just not put a title or put a title for each one, we have listed:
Parents of the Bride
namesofparentsofthebride
Parents of the Groom
names of parents of the groom
Officiant
nameofofficiant
Maid Of Honour
nameofMOH

They all kind of have thier own little title. I like something like that better if theres not a large wedding party.

 Your list (Parents, MOH, BM, etc.) looks fine.  I don't think you need an additional title at the top of the page.

 I included the officiant and our parents as part of the wedding party. Our parents contributed a lot, and they will be walking down the aisle as well (at some point or another). The officiant is necessary to the party to get married! So I just threw them all on the same page and called it "The Wedding Party."
