About
Many couples want to have a Christian Wedding, I help them also prepare for a Christian Marriage. Check out I've been married to my bride since 1996 and we are raising 6 kids. Our family's adoption story has been featured on the TODAY Show and you can watch that here: http://bit.ly/AaronAdoption
I have earned Masters Degrees in Christian Theology and am the Lead Pastor at Issaquah Christian Church. I use https://www.symbis.com/couples/ assessments to start a series of 6 great conversations with the couple in preparation for the wedding but most of all for the marriage.
I love helping people find purpose in life and fulfillment in Jesus. I've helped dozens of couples get married.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Because a good marriage is the goal of any wedding, I make sure that preparation is mandatory. We would begin with a conversation to find out what you want in a Christian Wedding and a Christian Marriage. We would then have you pay ($30) for an assessment at https://www.symbis.com/couples/ . After the report is filed we would arrange six (1 hour each) conversations to help you prepare for a lasting marriage and develop the wedding content during those sessions as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
B.A. in Biblical Studies
Master in Art of Theological Studies
Master's of Divinity
In Fulltime Christian Pastoral Ministry since 1998
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
After the $30 assessment fee paid to SYMBIS, I prepare the report and prepare the sessions for the couple. The 6 sessions cost $450 and are non negotiable (the goal is a fabulous marriage not just a fabulous event). The wedding itself is $400 including rehearsal time. So the total Officiant payment is $850.
As a Lead Pastor we do have access to our church facility but there is a separate Building Use Request required as well as other fees (subject to availability).
What types of customers have you worked with?
I work with Christian couples who want to get married and need help establishing a Christian Marriage. While it sounds exclusive, I don't apologize for the focus on helping people have a marriage that honors Jesus. Following Jesus together gives the marriage, purpose, meaning, and a level of satisfaction that I haven't seen elsewhere.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look for someone who is funny but classy, cool under pressure, and really cares about the product (your success as a married couple).
