Craig N. Katcher
Ordained Minister in Columbus, Indiana
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I used to be a Police Officer, and there were times a Minister would have been helpful. Now that I'm retired, I thought why not, if someone is in need, I can fill that need.
Where are you from?
I'm originally from San Diego, CA. Being from a Navy family, I've lived all over the country and overseas. Now, I reside in Central Indiana.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
Perhaps I'll perform handfastings or a few weddings here and there. I may be needed for a funeral, to support a friend in need, a crime victim in need, or just to be there for support.
Religious Affiliations
None
Additional Information
My beliefs are not important other than the fact that I believe you have the right to believe what you want to believe, and I support that right.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Columbus, IN wedding officiant?
I bring an organic feel to ceremonies. By that, I mean I am not associated with any given established church or temple. Thus, I have the freedom (with certain limitations as well as state/county requirements) to perform ceremonies as envisioned by the given couple and their beliefs.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I am located in Columbus. I prefer to stay in a radius, with Seymour being the southernmost and Greenwood being the northernmost. But I am flexible!

Additional Information
I'm still getting my feet wet with this gift. I will be adding services offered as I learn and become confident in my knowledge of the requirements of various ceremonies.
