Dr. Larry A. Maxwell
About
I am ordained Baptist Minister who has performed meaningful weddings and memorial services for more than 40 years.
I believe hope and comfort are found in the Bible and intergate meaningful passages into all my services. I know God loves everyone and wants to pe part of their special occasions so I seek to bring God's blessing to those occasions.
I have served as Pastor of Patterson Baptist Church for 25 years. I am a Chaplain with the Westchester/Putnam Fire Police Association and a member of the New York State Fire Chaplains Association. I am also a historian, genealogist and reenactor and have conducted services in historical uniforms.
I believe marriage is the union of a man and woman who love each other and want God's blessing on that union. The couple do not need to be Baptists for me to perform a cermeony, just a man and a woman who believe in God.
One of my specialities is conductng funerals and memorial services. I customize a service to make sure it comforts people and honors your loved ones.
I have conducted many services for first responders. You can contact Cargain Funeral Home in Carmel, New York for a reference.
