Why CLA Is the Right Choice for Wedding Officiants
Step One: Free, Christ-Centered Training
Most ordination sites offer fast, shallow certifications. Christian Leaders Institute (CLI), the training arm of CLA, offers a free Wedding Officiant Skills Course designed for spiritual impact. In under three hours, you’ll engage in:
CLA connects you to a global network of clergy—pastors, chaplains, coaches, and officiants—who have all undergone study-based training. Your role as a Wedding Officiant can be the first step in a growing ministry journey.
Many instant ordination sites compromise on marriage values. CLA stands firmly on God’s design: marriage as a sacred covenant between one man and one woman. You’ll lead couples into marriage with both legal and spiritual authority.
When you purchase your official credential, you’re also giving back. Every purchase supports free training for students around the world—extending your impact far beyond the wedding altar.
Timothy Walker never expected to become a Wedding Officiant. But when a close friend—his fellow leader in children’s ministry—asked him to officiate his wedding, Timothy felt honored… and unqualified.
“I was humbled, but I didn’t have legal credentials. I started researching and found sites offering instant licenses. But they didn’t align with God’s truth about marriage.”
That’s when he found Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance.
“As soon as I read their mission, I knew this was the right place.”
Timothy enrolled in the free course and completed it with enthusiasm. Today, he and his wife Kerry—married for 19 years and leaders of a marriage small group—help couples start their marriage journeys with a strong spiritual foundation.
“This course equipped me to officiate with confidence and integrity. We now serve couples through weddings and counseling, grounded in biblical truth.”
Timothy’s testimony shows the power of study-based, Spirit-led training. And despite being on a tight budget, he completed the training at no cost and has since become a CLI sponsor so others can follow the same path.
