We offer training for the three most common rites of passage: birth, marriage, and death. The training is unique and specific for each discipline, and as a result, so are the training and membership fees. Here is a breakdown of fees for each discipline:
Wedding Officiant Training & Certification
Training Course Fee:
It is our experience that most ministry professionals have some training and experience in leading a wedding ceremony. With that being true, our training is not mandatory for membership. However, if you have never officiated a wedding ceremony, we strongly recommend taking our Basic Training. The Basic Training covers, connecting with couples, how to use the ceremony resource site and how to lead a ceremony. The cost for basic training is 50.00. For the individual that is looking to build a business/ministry quickly and more effectively, we suggest that you sign up for our Business Builder Coaching. The coaching is available on an individual basis and will be structured to meet your needs and answer your specific questions. The cost is 75.00 an hour.
Membership Fee:
There is a $65.00 monthly recurring certification and membership fee. This fee covers your certification and access to LCM resources. The fee is a requirement for you to maintain your membership in good standing. The fee includes access to our world-class ceremony planning site for both you, and the couples you serve. The site can be found at www.myceremony.us. Your membership includes ongoing inspiration through bi-monthly group zoom calls as well as access to our online library of podcasts and other helpful resources. Please Note: LCM offers a fully functional personal website templates for any member who would find this helpful.
