| Welcome to: Galveston County Clergy Service FAQ & Information Resources
If you have need of a clergyman, minister, priest, or Officiant for any reason; we stand prepared to help. Question 1. What services do you provide? Answer 1. A full service ministry that is available to people of all religions and heritage. The Galveston County Clergy Service is operated as a nondenominational interfaith service. But still can offer denominational and catholic services for those requiring such. Services provided include: A. Weddings:
If you need a minister because you are going
to get married. First let me say, Congratulations on your engagement!. I know you must be happy and excited. We will be just as proud to be a part of this once in a lifetime moment in time as you are wed. When I see
the happiness and love in a couple's eyes showing for each other, I know and feel
I am seeing real love. This event must be special. The service must be memorable
as you each make a commitment to each other for a lifetime! We will be honored
to serve and officiate the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony on this the most important
day of your life. Click
