Chris Baker
Ordained Minister in Box Elder, South Dakota
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
In 2017, two close college friends of mine asked if I would officiate their wedding, and I agreed. Today, I serve the local community with quick, simple, and pleasant wedding ceremonies. I am well-versed in state law and county procedures. My service is rooted in an ecumenical approach that honors all peoples, cultures, identities, and traditions. All are welcome, all are supported, and all are served with integrity, discretion, and respect.
Where are you from?
Rapid City, South Dakota - by way of Alaska, Washington, Minnesota, and Arizona.
Religious Affiliations
None
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Box Elder, SD wedding officiant?
I specialize in quick services and a thorough and accurate filing support process, so you can rest assured things are done correctly the first time. I also encourage couples from marginalized or disadvantaged groups to contact me.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I reside in eastern Pennington County on the edge of Rapid City SD. Since I specialize in quick services, I do not charge a fee, but I do accept tips. If driving outside a certain radius, I will request fuel reimbursement. Let me know what your situation is and we'll make something work.
