Renee M Alvarez
Ordained Minister in Joshua Tree, California
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
As a minister, I am called to be a vessel of Christ’s love, meeting people where they are and guiding them gently toward God’s grace. My purpose is to honor and uphold the sacred covenant of marriage, celebrating unions that reflect God’s design for love, commitment, and joy.
Through my ministry, I strive to create Christ-centered ceremonies that are warm, meaningful, and rooted in Scripture. Whether I’m officiating weddings, offering spiritual encouragement, or simply being present with kindness and prayer, I want every interaction to be a reflection of God’s unwavering love.
I believe that ministry isn't confined to a pulpit—it lives in every act of compassion, every spoken blessing, and every heart that is seen and valued. My deepest hope is to inspire others to embrace the beauty of God's plan for their lives and to walk confidently in His love.
