I am not sure how I can express in words how wonderful our ceremony was. I got baptized before the wedding- amazing. I broke down in tears and he was so patient and caring. He truly wants to know you as a couple and promises to be there for council throughout your marriage. What a blessing this man is! He is willing to go wherever you need him. Just an excellent service!

Jennifer and Charles will be together till death parts them. This service was held on the banks of the Mississippi River in Quincy. Jennifer was Baptized with water from the Jordan River. Then we televised the ceremony to Charles's Mom. I am very pleased to be a part of their lives-ready to go whenever.

When my husband and I decided to get married, we had less than a week to find a minister. Luckily for us Pastor David was available and he handled everything for me. I am so grateful that he was a part of our special day. He was prepared, and he performed a very thoughtful ceremony.

David Russell's reply

They were a great couple and we were able to help-Just what the Lord want of Me. God Bless them both. Enjoyed very much-A Loving couple.

Pastor Russell was absolutely the best choice to officiate our wedding. Not only is he a very competent wedding official, he truly cares about each couple he marries. He's one of the most kind and caring individuals we've met. He took the time to meet with us weeks prior to the wedding to get to know us and to understand what kind of wedding we wanted, and who would be in attendance. At the wedding, he was very prompt and visited with our friends and family. We feel extremely blessed to have met him, and to have had him as such an important part of our wedding!

David Russell's reply

Kirstie and Andrew were just great to work with. God will bless this union. We became friends and the wedding was just great. I got to know their guest and had a talk with all of them. I too am Bless to have meet and married these two people.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I tell people that donations are accepted. I do charge for gas and truck expenses. If you come to my house and I do it here in Hallsville there is no charge. We DO accept donations too.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with both the bride and the groom shortly after they say I'm hired. We talk about the ceremony and who will do what. We talk about where the wedding will be. What part everyone has and what time the rehearsal is. Then I marry then on that special day.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We send about 10 hours a year to keep up with the times. We attend a 8 hr block on boundries training. What to do, what not to do. I read a lot about ministry.
