We had a great experience with Rev. Burton! He led our pre-marital counseling sessions with insight, warmth, and professionalism, and he did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. He made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process and really helped set the tone for our big day. We’re so glad we found him and would definitely recommend his services to other couples.

My fiancé and I were looking for pre marital counseling because we wanted to be sure that marriage was for us and that we on the right path, plus we had a few issues that needed to be ironed out. We had one counselor who we felt wasn’t giving us the tools that we needed for the future when we won’t have a counselor to talk to. So we started looking for someone else. We also wanted a Christian counselor. I came across Rev. Ricky’s profile, I sent him a message in regards to exactly what we needed and what we were looking to gain from pre marital counseling. He responded quickly and we got started the same week! He’s informative, personal, he keeps it real, he’s funny all while giving us tools that we can use after we’re married. Most of all my fiancé likes him and appreciates his work as well. We feel like we know him personally, we feel like we’re in a safe place especially when those not so comfortable topics come up. We never feel judged or that he’s being bias, and we always leave full meaning that we got something out of that session to help us. Rev. Ricky if we don’t say it enough let me say now that we thank you and appreciate your work. We definitely recommend you to our friends and family and would most certainly recommend you to others!

We really enjoy our pre-marital counseling sessions. He's given us great tools to navigate our marriage. We appreciate the organization and the themes of each session. More so, we appreciate the honesty and transparency of Pastor Ricky. We highly recommend him!

Ricky Burton is fantastic! We currently completed two sessions of our scheduled three sessions, and we have learned some beneficial tools that we could use in our marriage.
