Irene A Mack Shafer

I first became an ordained minister online after being entrusted by dear friends to officiate their marriage. I was raised in a family where faith, Bible knowledge, and God's will were the daily focus. The online ordination was an easy choice when asked to officiate for my dear friends.

I am from Northeast Ohio. I was born and raised in the Akron area.

My online ordination is the doorway for me to encourage and facilitate the life and faith journeys of those around me.

Although I had a religious upbringing, I prefer to focus on the tenets of the Mosaic Law, the Gospels, and a study of "Mother Nature" as the basis for developing a personal relationship with our Higher Power, nurturing our spiritual lives, and learning how to make mindful, day to day decisions.

I strive to base my ceremonies on the shared experiences of the couple and focusing the ceremony on their values and intentions for their future.

My ministry services can be summed up by three scriptures: Psalm 119:105, Proverbs 6:6, and Proverbs 3:6. I believe that the holy writings shed light on human nature and, when studied, can aid our understanding of our purpose, give us hope, and guide us to making mindful decisions in day to day life.
