I'm ordained through the United Evangelical Church of America as well as trained through Trinity Evangelical Christian University, and it's the ordination through United Evangelical Church which makes me more than a wedding officiant but rather a wedding minister. Although Officiants are ministers too a reverend is a theologically educated minister who is ordained and trained through an established church.
In addition to being an ordained minister, I'm also a professional published novelist and because of this, I have the abiltiy to write beautiful vows for your wedding. I'm a Veteran Army Combat Medic and currently work full-time at a major Medical Center in Seattle. I have an earned Associate of Arts degree in English Literature from Diablo Valley College in California, currently a student at Boston University - online - studying Interdisciplinary Studies and am also in a certification program at the United Evangelical Church of America working on becoming a Crisis Intervention Chaplain for the church.
Although I've enjoyed working in every occupation, I've been blessed to have on my life's journey, absolutely nothing compares to the satisfaction I receive from being a Wedding Minister and wedding couples in love because I know God is present at that moment in time. I sincerely feel it a blessing and a privilege to be a part of the couples ceremony.
Here is a quick synopsis of my qualifications and credentials:
"Ordained" through the United Evangelical Church of America as well as through Trinity Evangelical Christian Ministries.
Legally "Licensed" by the State of Washington to perform weddings and event planning; State License: 60292827011
An average of twenty-five years religiously and theologicaly "Educated" beginning as a Cradle Catholic in grade school, Seventh Day Adventist Academy, and The Trinity Evangelical Christian University.
"Experienced" wedding officiant officiating ceremonies in just about every venue as can be seen by the pictures on this website. I''m also a certified wedding minister through Trinity Evangelical Christian University.
"I believe it's not the quantity of wedding ceremonies performed, but the "Quality" of the time and detail put into the ceremony."
