Additional Information
I believe that no one denomination of Christianity is "correct" or "better" than any other. Christians have lost focus of what matters as a result of centuries of self-imposed segregation amongst believers due to minor differences or interpretations of scripture and teaching. My philosophy promotes the idea that we are all followers of Christ and no matter our personal opinions in regard to trivial matters, what is important is our belief in him and his teachings. Additionally, it is my belief that the love of Christ extends to all persons, no matter belief, sexuality, or nationality. Prejudice in his name has no place in his church. A church that welcomes all, no matter what, is a church conducted in the way of Christ's teachings.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Hayes, VA wedding officiant?
There is nothing that would make a wedding I officiate any more special than another. I am a servant of the lord, and I am there in that capacity. Your wedding is your day, and it should be conducted in such a way that makes you happy and makes the entire ceremony memorable in only the best of ways.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I only ask for a donation, to cover the cost of travel to provide this service for you. Any money that is given that exceeds the cost of time and travel will be given back to the community and those most in need. "Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses." - Proverbs 28:27
