2. Clergy Credentialing with Real Accountability

Unlike instant online credentials, Christian Leaders Alliance offers real clergy recognition. To become licensed or ordained, applicants must:

  • Complete the required training
  • Receive an endorsement from a reference
    This process ensures that those officiating weddings are truly called and qualified, offering a higher level of credibility than many secular alternatives.

Christian Leaders Alliance Wedding Officiant Program Endorsement

My name is Timothy Walker, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to become a Licensed Wedding Officiantthrough the thorough and well-structured training provided by Christian Leaders Institute, in partnership with Christian Leaders Alliance.

My wife, Kerry, and I have been married for 19 years, and we have truly cherished the God-ordained gift of marriage. We are blessed with five children and are thankful for the exciting journey that God continues to lead us through. As a family, we love God, love each other, and love sharing life together.

Recently, I was asked to officiate the wedding of a dear friend and brother in Christ, who is also a leader in our church’s children’s ministry. We have served side by side for many years and walked together through his journey of singleness, trusting God for a spouse. When he finally met the woman of his dreams on a mission trip, I rejoiced with him, praising God for answering his prayers. But what I didn’t expect was for him and his fiancée to ask me to officiate their wedding!

I was humbled, honored, and deeply moved that they would trust me with such a sacred role in their special day. However, I quickly realized that I wasn’t legally qualified to officiate since I lacked the proper credentials. It saddened me to think I would have to turn down their request. But then, my friend mentioned that there were organizations onlinethat provide training and licensing for wedding officiants. This was news to me, so I began researching.

I found several websites that offered instant officiant credentials—some within just two minutes. While the process seemed fast and easy, I quickly discovered that many of these organizations did not align with God’s design for marriage. They endorsed beliefs and values that went against God’s biblical mandate that marriage is between one man and one woman. I knew I couldn’t be associated with any organization that compromised on God’s truth.

I prayed and asked God for another option. That’s when I stumbled upon Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance during one final online search. As I read about their mission, I was relieved and overjoyed to see that they stand firmly on God’s design for marriage. I immediately knew this was the right place for me, and I eagerly enrolled in their Wedding Officiant training.

After completing the training, I was blown away by the level of care, depth, and excellence put into the courses. I learned so much and felt fully equipped to answer the call—not just to officiate my friend’s wedding, but to serve any couple seeking a Christ-centered marriage.

My wife and I have experienced a beautiful marriage journey, and we also lead a marriage small group. We are passionate about strengthening marriages and have long desired to expand our ability to help couples through counseling and spiritual guidance. Until now, that was the extent of what we could offer. But now, as a Licensed Wedding Officiant, we can also help coordinate and officiate weddings!

This program has inspired me to pursue further training and credentials to better equip me for ministry, especially in marriage counseling. My heart is to assist married couples in navigating challenges and strengthening their relationships in alignment with God’s design.

I am so grateful for the incredible opportunity that Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance have provided me. Being on a tight budget, I deeply appreciate that I could receive this training at no cost. This blessing has inspired me to become a sponsor of this amazing program so that others can also receive life-changing ministry training.

I am forever thankful to Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance, and I will happily share my testimony with others who feel called to help couples on their journey of marriage and faith.

Thank you, Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance! May God continue to bless and favor your ministry for all you do for His Kingdom!
