Introduction: In today's "get it online" world, just about anyone can order a piece of paper on the internet that says they are "A Wedding Officiant." If you are looking for a true Christian Minister who is ordained, knows Christ, teaches from the Bible, and understands what Christian marriage truly is then Pastor Steve is the officiant you are looking for. We also offer: Pastoral Counseling (Spiritual Counseling) including: Biblical Marriage & Relationship Counseling Pastoral Care Services Blessing Ceremonies Funeral/Memorial Services & More Rev. Steven D. Hofmeister (Pastor Steve) offers wedding officiating services, including vow development if needed, and a premarital education program. for weddings booked more than 30 days in advance. We normally prefer participation in this program as it is the core of our planning process, but we are willing to waive this in some circumstances. In the premarital sessions, we talk about God's design for marriage, family, and other time tested topics regarding marriage, the rehearsal, and those special details you wish to have. In this time where so many marriages lead to divorce, we feel that offering this resource helps create a solid foundation for your life together Forever. We welcome unique wedding concepts. We do not offer services for same-sex marriage as they violate our statement of faith. However, please understand we do not judge those who differ in our position.
