Greetings OneinHim! It depends upon the state and upon the denomination. Some states require a ministeral license to perform weddings, some only require that a person be pastoring a church. You would have to contact your local church to find out! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: May I add that it is also the state or local county laws that also regulate. As a general rule If a person is ordained, that is enough. However in some states just going in to the County clerk and registering with then just as a person wanting to do marriage services is adaquate. Whether a former pastor is divorced has little to do with the state allowing him or her to marry. In fact you can get adds in papers and in magazines sell minister diplomas for a small price to ANYONE to marry couples and make lots of bif money. Ha Ha, I have married more couples for nothing. I usually give it back to the bride as asupprise gift. Justme |

Greetings Justme! That's way one must check with their local government - there are so many different circumstances and laws out there. I pastored for about six years in Ohio. They required that a pastor be ordained (or recognized by some church body), but they also required a pastor to register for a license at the cost of a one time fee (about 10 dollars). One good thing that some states are doing is requiring pre-marital counseling before a couple can get married. This is something which I ususally did (with some rare exceptions). Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: From the first I have said I would rather do a funeral than a wedding as I knew they would stay put! Sadly, and a heart brake is how many divorced that I married, it really hurts. I never will marry anyone with out counseling ever again. I did for some family members to my heart ache. God bless. agape, justme |
