    Have you been asked to perform a wedding ceremony? Do you sense a calling to serve as an ordained Christian Wedding Officiant?

    Whether you are preparing to officiate one special wedding or developing a long-term ministry, this course will help you serve couples with confidence, biblical clarity, and professionalism.

    The Wedding Officiant Skills Course includes video lectures, readings, and quizzes that help you understand and apply what you are learning. You will also provide a reference from someone familiar with your faith, character, and calling.
