Wedding Minister Program
Are you a Christian? Have you been asked to officiate a wedding ceremony? Does it matter to you that your clergy minister license is not just a piece of paper you instantly order? Are you called to advance Christian marriage in your family and community? Are you looking for a way to get ordained online that includes local recognition?
Are you looking for a credible and legally acceptable wedding minister program of study and clergy credentialing? Do you have limited time but still want to get the needed training to do a great job as a wedding minister?
Christian Leaders Institute is your gateway to a wedding minister program that includes studies and credentials. We have three wedding minister options for you to consider.
Christian Leaders Institute Wedding Minister Program

Steps to Complete One of the Wedding Minister Programs

Step Two -Complete your study program.
The training courses are designed to be completed at your own pace. You have up to 6 months of enrollment in each course. Most people complete courses in days, however.
Step Three – Complete the Licensed Christian Wedding Officiant Recognition Class appropriate to the wedding minister option you pick (0 Credits)
You will create your public profile. Then, you will submit one or two recommendations depending on the option your complete. The recommendations are important because this program is part of a process that makes your clergy recognition much more than an online ordination.
Licensed Wedding Minister Program – Testimonies
Michigan
Our youngest daughter, on Easter Weekend, had asked me if I
would officiate her wedding. I am pursuing becoming a licensed Christian Wedding officiant so that I can confidentially serve my daughter’s request and at the same time expand my skills for possible future requests.
California
Hello, my name is Ana Garcia. My husband and I have a church
ministry in California. Becoming a Licensed Christian Wedding Officiant will help me in so many ways. We’ve been in our congregation for 16 years. So many times, people asked me to officiate their wedding. However, because of the monetary situation and the expense in our council to become ordained, I started to look into programs online. Thank God, I found the Christian Leaders Institute (Learn more about online Bible courses, Click Here). I am an accountant and in the process of becoming a notary. With this license with the Christian Leaders Alliance, I will have all the credentials needed for the professional services company I have.
Michigan
Pre-pandemic, I taught an in-person class of women in Muskegon
at a local shelter. I designed the class and centered it around healthy relationships, boundaries, and knowing God. I have a desire to serve women who’ve been in abusive relationships.
Now, I am here at Christian Leaders Institute to become legally qualified to perform a marriage. My daughter is getting married this year, and she and her fiance asked me to officiate their ceremony. With great honor, I accepted and then sought out a way to achieve this from a Christian perspective that would give me a biblical background. I plan to perform a beautiful, Christ-centered ceremony.
The wedding officiant training at CLI and licensing with the Christian Leaders Alliance are perfect for me at this time.
Congo
For me, the CLI licensing programs are the long-awaited lights at
the end of long dark tunnels for all called individuals who need credentialling options. Individuals with training get permission to minister from a credible established Christian institution. CLI has only one theological coloring – Faith in Christ and the supremacy of Scripture in matters of faith and living. Discovering CLI was a miraculous sign that all hope was not yet lost for me to be the servant GOD called me to be from my teens.
