Reverend Renda Hanson

To assist individuals with their special moments, especially if they do not have a church home.

Born and raised in Georgia, lived all over as a travel nurse.and finally made home in North Dakota in 2017.

My ministry exists to make life’s sacred moments—such as weddings, baptisms, and other meaningful ceremonies—accessible, inclusive, and deeply personal. I believe that everyone deserves the right to mark their milestones with dignity and joy, regardless of religious affiliation or church membership. I am committed to walking alongside individuals and families with compassion, openness, and respect, creating experiences that are easy, rewarding, and truly their own.

I am an ordained minister who honors the beauty and wisdom found in many faith traditions. While I do not belong to any one specific religion, my beliefs are rooted in compassion, connection, and the sacredness of life. I draw inspiration from various spiritual paths and practices that speak to me personally—creating space for ceremonies that reflect your values, not a set doctrine. My role is to support and celebrate you, wherever you are on your journey.

As a wedding officiant, I create ceremonies that are deeply personal, inclusive, and heart-centered. I take the time to get to know each couple—their story, their values, and their vision—so that every word spoken reflects who they truly are. Whether the setting is a quiet park, a bustling venue, or a sacred spot by the water, I bring calm presence, intentional language, and warmth to every ceremony.

What sets me apart is my belief that love is sacred—and so is your right to celebrate it freely, without barriers or judgment. Whether spiritual, nonreligious, interfaith, or uniquely your own, your ceremony will be crafted with care, authenticity, and a touch of beauty that honors your journey together.

I'm open to going anywhere I'm called to perform ceremonies.

Whether it’s a wedding, baptism, vow renewal, or other life moment, I create ceremonies that are personal, heartfelt, and inclusive. Every service is thoughtfully crafted to reflect your story, your values, and your vision—without judgment or barriers. My goal is to make meaningful moments easy, beautiful, and truly yours.
