Ordained Ministers at Christian Leaders Alliance

My name is Bianca Paige, and I was born and raised in the District of Columbia. I am a mother of two growing boys, Zamari Haynes and Zion Haynes.

My journey to becoming a Wedding and Romance Officiant began with a deep desire to teach people about Ordained ministersGod’s way of approaching relationships and marriage. Through my own life experiences, I have seen firsthand the struggles people face in relationships and the reasons behind the declining success rate of marriages. The main reason for these failures is that God is not being invited into the decision-making process when choosing a life partner. Many do not have a clear understanding of the biblical foundation for relationships and marriage.

I made a choice to influence people toward God’s design for relationships, guiding them back to His approach to dating and marriage. The material I studied through the course gave me the confidence to share the message that a God-centered marriage is designed to succeed. No union that God ordains will fall apart unless personal desires change and pride takes over. God carefully laid out the blueprint for relationships, and He longs for His people to experience joy and love in their unions.

Although I have never been married, I had my children at a young age. Without proper counsel and guidance, my choices did not align with God’s will for my life. I paid the price for not seeking God’s direction or allowing Him to guide my decisions. Over time, I saw the destruction that came from being unequally yoked—a relationship where values and morals do not align.

I was raised in church, but unfortunately, I was not taught how to have a personal relationship with God. My prayer life was quiet because I did not fully understand the importance of communion with Him. However, as I grew spiritually and gained understanding through God’s Word, He revealed to me that servanthood was part of my calling. He entrusted me with the responsibility of sharing the gospel.

I made the choice to follow God’s plan for my life, and He led me to Christian Leaders Institute. I remember crying with gratitude because I knew He had made my path straight so I could complete the task He set before me. I promised the Lord that my primary goal would be winning souls for Him, and I am committed to walking in my calling for the rest of my life.

I have now completed all the officiant programs and am honored to serve as one of the ordained ministers at Christian Leaders Alliance.
