Serving Virginia families
Officiant & Pastoral Counselor, serving Virginia families through weddings, farewells, and everything in between.
Every ceremony, personal. Every family, cared for.
About Pastor Janie
Ordained for over 30 years, Pastor Janie has walked alongside hundreds of Virginia families — celebrating new marriages, honoring lives well-lived, and sitting with people through the tender, uncertain seasons in between.
Her approach is simple: every ceremony deserves to feel unhurried and personal. No scripts pulled from a binder. No rushing to the next appointment. Just steady, prayerful attention to your family and your story.
Whether the day ahead is joyful or heavy, you don't have to face it alone.
