Minister SK Cross

I become a minister so I can support the church I attend and able to preform weddings, Christenings and other services within the Church of Christ

Wigan, Lancashire, England, UK

I would love to be granted a church in the near future so that I can support the community in various ways, ie - Coffee mornings, MH Support Groups, Classes to help all with basic skills and to provide a community hub for a food bank.

The key is striking the balance: transparent about your faith but also showing openness to the couple’s & people’s needs

I believe my ceremonies are special because they are completely personal to the couple. I don’t deliver a ‘one-size-fits-all’ script — I take time to get to know their story, their personalities, and what love means to them. This allows me to craft a ceremony that feels authentic, meaningful, and memorable, both for them and their guests.

What makes it unique is the atmosphere I create — warm, heartfelt, and inclusive — so that everyone present feels part of the moment. My role is to set the tone: calm when nerves are high, joyful when it’s time to celebrate, and always focused on making the couple feel that this is their day, told in their voice.”

“As a minister, I see my role as more than simply conducting a ceremony — it’s about walking alongside couples during one of the most meaningful moments of their lives. I provide guidance in preparing vows, choosing readings, and shaping the ceremony so it reflects their values and personalities.

I’m also available for support beyond the wedding day itself, whether that’s pre-marital conversations, pastoral care, or simply being someone to listen when the journey feels overwhelming. My services are inclusive and flexible, and I am committed to creating a ceremony that feels sacred, joyful, and truly theirs.”
