What People Say About us

"With my official Christian wedding officiant license, I can perform my daughter’s and family and friends’ weddings when it’s time for them to marry. I thank CLI for this amazing course and ministry training.

Coreta Morris Boswell​

CLA Minister

My nephew is getting married this summer, and he and his fiancée asked me to perform their ceremony. The course was very thorough, covered all of the questions I was concerned about. It was instrumental in forming my viewpoint of how I need to prepare, and what I might expect as we lead up to the wedding day itself.

Brian Gilner

CLA Licensed Wedding Officiant

“I initially explored various ‘ordination mill’ websites, searching for a quick yet legitimate way to become licensed to perform a wedding for my son and his fiancée. With only six weeks before the wedding, I chose this program because it was distinctly Christian and appeared more comprehensive, yet still feasible within my tight deadline. I’m glad I chose it. The course was thorough but concise, covering topics I hadn’t considered in a depth that adequately prepared me.”
