Wedding Ministry
We believe that marriage is sanctioned by God and has only one meaning. We believe that God sanctions marriage between one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union as we believe taught in the Christian Scriptures.
Most couples in today's world prefer a combination of a Christian/Romantic wedding ceremony that includes prayer, biblical and romantic readings, various blessings, a short story of how they met, what hey love about each other and how the proposal of marriage occurred, and an opportunity for the couple to include the gospel message.
As an ordained Christian Minister, I offer a wedding ministry that might just be what you are looking for. Couples who are planning to get married meet with me and discuss their wedding plans. If couples, want to proceed with me and I am open to doing their wedding, then they will go through a Christianity 101 class, premarital counseling (I use Prepare-Enrich and the Bible for premarital counseling), and a planning session to plan the script for the wedding. All couples will be required to participate in the Christianity 101, premarital counseling, and the planning session.
I offer three levels of weddings: Basic, Standard, and a Full Wedding Ceremony.

BASIC SERVICEThere are couples who prefer to have a small private ceremony with only family and a few friends and who prefer to be married in a park, garden, or barn, or at home, etc. This ceremony only takes 5-10 minutes.

STANDARD SERVICEThis wedding service is primarily designed for a banquet hall chapel, or park. It is usually a 15-20 minute ceremony. I do provide a custom, written "script" of the ceremony to each couple in advance. I do not provide a rehearsal, but usually you can do that on your own. I recommend that the wedding couple have a well-organized person, other than a wedding party member to facilitate the rehearsal. Often, your hotel or banquet hall contact person will do a rehearsal for you as part of their service.

FULL SERVICEThis kind of wedding ceremony can last anywhere between 20-40 minutes depending on the number of elements a wedding couple puts into the ceremony; such as live music, a soloist, or an extended number or readings. I work with you individually to design a wedding ceremony exactly as you would like it. This wedding service is primarily for a church, chapel. banquet hall, or park etc. Full Service includes the following:
