2 Corinthians 5:17(NIV)
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”
Our Story
At 5:17 Officiant, I believe in honoring life’s most sacred moments—whether that means guiding families through a heartfelt farewell or celebrating the powerful union of husband and wife. My mission is to walk with you in times of both joy and grief, offering ceremonies that are personal, meaningful, and grounded in faith. For weddings, I hold to the truth of Mark 10:9: “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” It’s my joy to witness and affirm the beauty of love that reflects God’s design.
When officiating funerals, I aim to bring peace and comfort by helping families remember their loved ones with dignity, hope, and honor. Revelation 21:4 reminds us, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain…” In every service, I seek to reflect that eternal promise. Whether celebrating a new beginning or honoring a life well-lived, I am here to serve you with compassion, respect, and unwavering care.
