Full Ministerial Services Offered
Throughout the ages, humankind has celebrated life, mourned death and honored
the events of life in between. These events are passages that are often times worthy
of celebrations and rituals to honor the memories of the moment, to keep life sacred
and to experience the depth of our faith in our creator and each other. Our rituals
and celebrations become candle marks in our lives, help us to come to terms with
change and the great mystery of life, and we want them to be special.
Individual Ceremonies Offered
About Our Services
Baptism:
    The Bible teaches that baptism is the
    immersion of a believer in water. If you
    would like to experience the
    tremendous joy of obedience to Christ's
    command, you are invited to contact us
    to talk about this important step in
    your spiritual journey.  

    Baptism is an individual public
    profession of personal faith in Jesus
    Christ and surrender to Him. This is
    why it is so important that a person be
    old enough to understand what is
    happening and to be able to make such
    a commitment to Christ.  It's a mature
    person professing, "I know what I'm
    doing. And I want you to know, I belong
    to Jesus Christ. I'm surrendered to His
    will in my life." Such testimonies
    bring great joy and blessing.   

    Baptism is open to all who would take it
    on the Lord's terms.


Blessing of Little Children:
    Baby and small children blessings are
    performed by licensed ministers with
    experience in various faith traditions.  
    Guardian angel assignments, baby
    baptisms, baby naming, or simply
    blessings are created utilizing water,
    oil, flower exchange and/or many
    beautiful blessing rituals. Mostly a
    perfect way to introduce your child to
    the community,  bless their life ahead,
    and ensure spiritual protection.


Blessing of Home:
    A House Blessing is a delightful way to
    begin in a new home or to begin anew
    in an existing home. It is done with the
    officiant and those who will be living in
    the house. Friends and family may also
    be invited. Refreshments or a meal can
    be served afterwards as part of the
    occasion.

    The House Blessing focuses on and
    attracts the qualities you want in your
    home environment (e.g., loving,
    abundance, prosperity, health, balance,
    healing, laughter, etc.).It can be short
    or longer; have the religion or spiritual
    you want in it or none at all. It will be
    perfectly tailored for you and your
    family. A House Blessing results in the
    house being prepared and blessed for
    your dear loved ones, your family.
Wedding Vows:
    We are ordained Christian and Interfaith
    Ministers who believe there are many
    paths to the truth.  We will perform non-
    denominational, interfaith, or civil
    wedding ceremonies personalized and
    customized to your beliefs and wishes. We
    honor all religions and spiritual traditions
    and each person's right to find his or her
    own way in these matters.

    Performing weddings is one of  our
    favorite ways to minister, for it keeps us
    constantly in touch with the remarkable
    power of love in our own lives. Matrimony
    is all about love. So if you are in love and
    want to be married, we are here for you.

    All services are carefully created for each
    individual couple. Exceptional
    personalized attention given.


Renewal of Vows:
    A renewal of marriage vows ceremony can be
    for any married couple that wish to celebrate
    renewing their marriage vows in a unique
    and personal ceremony.  Often these
    renewal of marriage vows ceremonies are
    associated with a special wedding
    anniversary, such as the tenth, twenty-fifth,
    fortieth, etc, but the ceremony is just as
    appropriate for couples at any stage of
    marriage.  It is sometimes particularly
    relevant to those who   have been through a
    period which put a strain on their
    relationship and who wish to celebrate their
    renewed commitment to each other.


Funerals:
    Funeral and Memorial Services are
    performed by licensed ministers with
    experience in various faith traditions
    Families and loved ones can participate in
    as much or as little of the service as
    needed. Grief counseling and gentle,
    loving care provided.


Spiritual Counseling:
    Based on the belief that "a spiritual
    solution is a viable means for dealing with
    problems", this counseling is available for
    those wishing to deepen their relationship
    with the Divine as they understand It.
    Initial intake will provide framework for
    continued care. Much prayer-work
    utilized.
