Liberal, non-denominational
Interfaith minister available for church, home, seaside,
banquet hall, and casino weddings.
Wedding services designed around
your needs for your
Special day
. Our
ministry is a non-denominational ministry serving all faiths.
Though
Christian in nature, we believe that all faiths have enlightened paths to the
Godhead,
and
our mission is to serve all who call.
We have been called by Him to serve you,
who, though are spiritual,
have chosen not to yoke themselves to a particular
church or denomination.
Therefore, our calling is to serve those in need of
ministerial services,
be it a baptism, marriage, internment service, communion,
pastoral counseling or
simply, reconciliation with God.
Like the Apostles, our ministry is not tied to a
geographical
or community boundary, we
make it very simple,
you call, we serve.

Commitment Ceremonies
As
our society evolves into a wider acceptance of people as who
and what they are, many sincere and loving relationships are
appearing on the scene crying and shouting for recognition.
Some couples choose to forego the normal route of
legalization of their marriage due to philosophical or
ideological reasons.
In our society there is
presently a great turmoil and debate on the marriage
issue for same gender couples who wish to be married and that by law are
still not recognized in most states. We, at Emmaus believe
that the longing of the heart is stronger then the legal
ties that bind our society. Our God is an all-loving God,
and it is in the eyes of God that marriages and relationships are offered up
to.
Love and commitment are true gifts of the Spirit and are not
to be wasted or overlooked. They deserve to be honored and
respected for the joys they bring to the lives of those who
share them. The deep commitment that this kind of ceremony
addresses celebrates the hearts and minds that request it.
Commitment is the key here for the bond that holds without a
legal sanction we believe is indeed a natural bond.
A Faith Based Ministry
| What is
the work of the faithful in the world? And how should
it be done? Emmaus Ministries embraces the idea that
faith is the fabric of what we do. It is through this
belief that our ministries is upholding society
through co-operative ventures with sectarian and
religiously affiliated groups.
We are in complete agreement with Pastor Jim
Wallis, founder of Sojourners, a community of
religious social activists, “faith prompts hope,
prompts action, prompts change.” Help us as we
continue the fight for Charitable Choice, that will
allow us to keep our religious character while
contracting with government to offer much needed
social services. |
