James Barcus

I heard the voice of the Lord tell me to follow Him. After separating myself from the organized denominations that held back, I am ordained through Universal Life Church to preach the Gospel with love to everyone willing to listen.

Born in Scottsboro, Alabama, and raised in much of Northeast Alabama, I moved to Georgia and married the love of my life. I live in Manchester, GA.

Teach the word of God without partisan or denominational strife or slant, pray for those needing it, rejoice for those who receive the Blessings of the Lord, and join those wanting to marry before the Lord in Holy Matrimony.

The genuine love Jesus Christ sends through me to the Couples. Not only am I leading the ceremony, but I am also a fellow traveller on the path.

If there is a minister who seeks to have someone truly teaching from God's word at their service, I will bring His word there. I can also sing some gospel songs, hymnal favorites, and other Christian songs. While I will perform wedding ceremonies, I now do so with a requirement of at least a minimum of three sessions to get to know the couple, provide counseling, and for all to be on the same page before I perform a ceremony. Civil ceremonies require a minimum of one session to ensure everyone is on the same page before I agree to officiate. (I can do small gatherings at my home; otherwise, I would need to line up transportation to the venue. All planning meetings are conducted at my headquarters for the ministry here in Manchester, Georgia.) If travelling to Manchester, GA is a burden, I do offer Zoom or Microsoft Teams conferencing as an alternative. The same number of sessions applies.
