Credible Officiant Qualifications

Christian Leaders Alliance has been credentialing officiants since 2014. Additionally, Christian Leaders Alliance Officiants or Ministers receive rigorous wedding officiant training that prepares them to help couples marry in the Lord.

Credible Officiant Qualifications – The Training Program

Credible officiant qualifications are essential! Each trained officiant or minister completes at least a one-credit course where they learn crucial competencies to make the experience of getting married special. They learn:

The work ministry of the wedding officiant.
How to conduct the first meeting with the couple, and what needs to be accomplished throughout the process.
The theology of Christian marriage and how to share God’s design for marriage for the couple’s encouragement.
How to be aware of all the local laws and requirements of the state and county.
The putting together of a wedding program should the couple need help to do that.
How do you assist the couple with the vows if they need help?
The conducting of a wedding rehearsal should the couple want a wedding rehearsal.
The people-smart skills about keeping the attention on the bride and groom.
The basics of putting together a brief wedding message or meditation if the couple wants that in their wedding.
How to confidently officiate a wedding.

Recommended

Each licensed or ordained wedding officiant or minister had to submit a recommendation for endorsement as someone who walks with God. Therefore, credible officiant qualifications are connected to local people who know the officiant before they get their credentials. The Christian Leaders Alliance monitors this endorsement process.

Credentialed

After the training is completed and the recommendation approved, officiants or ministers are posted as clergy in the Christian Leaders Alliance Directory.

Commissioned

Furthermore, each licensed or ordained wedding officiant or minister is local. This means they are a local officiant or minister with the Christian Leaders Alliance.

What does that mean for you?

Christian Leaders Alliance Officiants or Ministers:

Takeaways
