Licensed Minister

Church of the Nazarene

NH Justice of the Peace

 

As a sincere and spirit-led minister, I would be honored to conduct your ceremony. My approach focuses on paying tribute to God, thanking Him for the people I work with, and truly celebrating the times of our lives together.  My goal is to bless you with a genuine and personal ceremony. Let me assist the Lord in designing and molding a beautiful, memorable day for you.  

As we go through our lives, various changes and events that deeply effect us, are often marked by ceremonial rites of passage. They are the outward sign of the steps taking us into the next season of life.

Whether you are preparing to marry for the first time,  to re-dedicate yourself to your spouse by renewing or enhancing your wedding vows, hoping to share the joy of blessing a new child, or looking back on a precious life; you want to know that these one time events will be conducted exactly the way you want to experience and remember them.

We have all attended ceremonies officiated by people lacking a true passion and calling to this vocation.  Several JPs and some religious officiants do no more than show up, recite a standard prefabricated ceremony, and walk out the door...leaving no lasting impact. Their words are soon forgotten, if even heard.

Words spoken in their ceremonies are predictable and over used...hence quickly forgotten.

Repeating the same old standards can cause some folks to lose interest and drift off, while you are having a huge moment in your life!

Weddings, christenings, renewing vows, memorials, and funerals are all important events. They are life changing.

I believe the ceremonies should be interesting, meaningful, and customized for each type of event. If it's important enough to invite others to a celebration, isn't it also important to fully engage them? I encourage creativity in the process of designing a wedding ceremony (or any other type of ceremony) so that your chosen guests will sincerely listen and focus on the special words being shared. This way people can authentically and truly celebrate the occasion together.

My approach to this work and ministry is quite simple, yet very effective. I invest time and energy getting to know the people I am working with, to discover what matters to them...and then help translate that into a wonderful celebration.

Choosing the right person to help you plan and create a beautiful ceremony, to stand in that intimate place at the "altar" with you, who will guide and help you at such an important moment is a very significant decision. Who will you choose to entrust this responsibility to? The clergy member or officiant is, in many ways, your representative.

Choose that person who can communicate very effectively on your behalf and who can provide the guidance and resources you are looking for. He/she should bring life and meaning to the ceremony, and accurately present the unique nature of the person or people being honored.

The basic building blocks of my life are faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and showing His love in my daily life.

I have a true appreciation for the significance of your event and would love the opportunity to assist you!
