Wedding September 4, 2020

So happy we chose Pastor Chris to officiate our ceremony on 09/04/20. We unfortunately had to post pone our wedding from May to September but Pastor Chris was so flexible and willing to make it work with his schedule! He also was very communicative with us up until our wedding day. We got so many compliments on how professional yet how funny he was. He had a very calm yet upbeat demeanor and everyone enjoyed his presence. If you are looking for a pastor in or around the Carlisle area I would recommend Pastor Chris to anyone!

An amazing guy!

We can’t say enough good things about pastor Chris! He is very understanding and easy to work with. He requires you to meet up with him a couple of times before the wedding, but it’s a great opportunity to get to know each other and he is truly there for whatever you need, and he always will be. Highly recommend!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
