Gulf War Veteran, Former Police Officer, Chaplain thru Motor Racing Outreach †
Congratulations on your engagement! As you dive into wedding planning, a crucial early decision is selecting someone to officiate your ceremony.
For those with an existing relationship with a pastor or minister, the choice is clear. But if you lack such a connection, the path can seem less certain. Often, couples consider asking a close friend or family member, quickly seeking an online ordination certificate to legalize the union.
From a Christian perspective, it's vital to understand that online ordination does not equate to Biblical ordination. A certificate acquired online, while perhaps offering legal standing in some places, does not confer spiritual authority or recognition in God's eyes, nor is it biblically grounded.
Donnie, however, is a fully ordained minister, credentialed by the state of North Carolina and Virginia through Chaplain Fellowship Ministries International and Motor Racing Outreach. He cherishes the opportunity to unite couples in the holy covenant of Matrimony, ensuring the ceremony is conducted in a manner that is legally recognized, biblically faithful, and truly God-honoring.
"Let marriage be held in honor among all," Hebrew 13:4
