If you’re called to officiate weddings and want to do so with Christ at the center, the Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA) offers a clear, biblically grounded path to becoming licensed to officiate a wedding.
Whether you serve family, friends, or your wider community, officiating a wedding is more than a legal task—it’s a ministry opportunity rooted in Scripture, prayer, and lifelong covenant.
Most online ordination sites offer fast, shallow certifications. The Christian Leaders Institute (CLI)—the training branch of CLA—offers something far deeper: a free Wedding Officiant Skills Course.
In less than three hours, you’ll experience:
This free program makes training accessible for anyone with a true calling, no matter their financial situation.
At CLA, your wedding officiant license is not just a certificate—it’s a recognition of calling and preparation.
You’ll need to:
This ensures every CLA-credentialed officiant is accountable, equipped, and committed to ministry excellence.
Once credentialed, you’ll be part of a worldwide fellowship of pastors, chaplains, coaches, and officiants—each trained with the same high standards. This is more than a license; it’s an invitation into an active ministry community.
Some “instant ordination” services compromise biblical values. CLA holds firmly to God’s design for marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman. You’ll have both the legal and spiritual authority to guide couples into marriage.
Purchasing your official credential doesn’t just authorize you—it also supports free ministry training for students around the world. Your step into wedding ministry becomes part of a global Gospel movement.
By the time you finish, you’ll be ready to lead weddings with confidence. You’ll cover:
Clayton, a committed follower of Christ, had been given a special opportunity—officiating the wedding of close friends. For him, this wasn’t just an honor; it was a sacred responsibility.
“My faith is the most important thing in my life,” Clayton shared. “So finding an organization like Christian Leaders, whose values come directly from the Word of God, was exciting. I did not want to use some online service that just gives out officiant credentials to anyone.”
As he explored his options to become licensed to officiate a wedding, Clayton discovered the Christian Leaders Alliance and Christian Leaders Institute. The combination of free, Christ-centered training and a credentialing process rooted in accountability gave him confidence.
“I am looking forward to officiating the wedding knowing that I will be backed by a great Christian organization,” he said.
Clayton’s story reflects the heart of CLA’s mission: to equip called individuals with the biblical training, spiritual authority, and global community support they need to serve well.
