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 Houston Minister Referral 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!". I know you must be proud. We will be just as proud to be a part of this special moment in time as you are. 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. My son Trey Bernhardt, an Odained Deacon is also available to serve as your officiant. Some days we are both busy! So schedule ahead of time! Click below to review the service outline. Call 832-549-4696 or 281-595-2002 . Please call for infomation, a reservation form, or to book a wedding or other religious celebration.

B. Renewal of Marriage and Wedding Vows: Celebrate your anniversary with a complete ceremony to renew your marriage vows. We treat this as a wedding. The words just a little different, but the spirit of unity and uniting as one in life and forever is very apparent. This day and celebration should be just as important as your wedding day.
