Christian Light Ministries is committed to serving Christ...by serving others!

We strive to serve our couples and families in every aspect. We not only perform wedding ceremonies, but baptisms, funerals and memorial services for a loved one who has passed away at any funeral home or location.

The ministry performs ceremonies at any location you choose. Such locations included but are not limited to local and recreational parks, country clubs, family homes, historic buildings, and areas outside the state, such as the beach.

Additional Services Free Of Charge

The music can be played on our Bose Acoustic Wave System. The ceremony music includes preludes, music for the groom and groomsmen, the mothers entrance, the bride and her maids, the lighting of the unity candle (if using one) and the recessional. All music is then burned onto a CD which is played during the ceremony and given to the couple afterwards as a special token of the day. Another is providing bulletins for the wedding to be given to the guests. The bulletin cover is chosen by the couple. Christian Light Ministries types and prints all bulletins used for the ceremony. The final service is the giving of a marriage certificate to the couple which is signed by the pastor, and the best man and maid or matron of honor as witnesses. This is given also as a token of the day and also serves as another proof of marriage in addition to the license that is issued by the state.

Wedding Contract

Once a couple has notified Christian Light Ministries, a wedding contract and application for general information will be sent. The wedding date will also be “penciled” in as a courtesy. All weddings are first come, first serve. Once the couple sends back a signed application and the date is confirmed, the date is then locked in for that day and a date to meet with the pastor is set.
