Testimonials

"We loved working with Pastor Lura as we prepared to embark on our lifelong journey together. The premarital counseling she provided was incredibly valuable and her teachings have played a strong role in our successful marriage. Thank you for your wisdom and support!"

"Pastor Lura N. Groen worked with us to ensure that our ceremony reflected our personal traditions and nuances to make our wedding day incredibly special and perfectly ours. We especially appreciated the 4 weeks of marriage counseling beforehand - she provided us lifelong tools to utilize in our life together that we often refer back to."

"You did an amazing job with our ceremony. It's obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into the preparation in everything from the first time we met up until the actual ceremony. You gave us guidance not only for the ceremony, but for life, and life as a married couple. You were always concerned and helpful and made yourself available for us."

"My wife and I decided early on to handle the majority of our wedding planning ourselves.  I know you're thinking that's a terrible idea, but trust me when I say that we had this under control.  Throwing a party for two hundred people wasn't that big of a deal.  The actual wedding part of it however, that was a different story.  Neither of us has  much of a church background.  We weren't really sure where to start.  Lura was an amazing resource.  She alleviated all of the stress coming from that direction of the planning.  She held our hands through the what where and when, offering advice and options.  She was flexible too!  Offering us prearranged services and being open to our own ideas.  When it came the day of, she was fantastic.  Believe me, no matter how prepared you are, you will need a professional who has done this before.  Lura was exactly what we needed.   Oh, did I mention we got hitched on Halloween?  Lura did all of this dressed as Captain Hook."
