Can a church minister marry someone?

Answer 1

Not only can, but should. Bishops, for example, must be husband of a wife, according to the New Testament. Even apostles should be married, like St. Peter. He did not abandon his wife. He remained married to her.

Answer 2

It depends on your definition of "minister" as a baptist, the minister of the church is a Reverend and therefore it's leader (the same as a priest or vicar). Therefore, yes.. they can marry you. Some churches have more than one Reverend but I'm not sure if all of them would hold the same legal necessities to marry couples, or if it would just be the lead Rev. Check with the church, they will know.

If by minister you are referring to someone who is more of a counsellor or pastor within the church, then no, probably not.

Legally, a registrar must be present at the wedding anyway, so it might be best to ask them what their view on it is.

Answer 1

• They can if their denomination allows - Catholic priests, for instance, are not permitted to marry, but most Protestant denominations do allow it.

Biblically it is ok to get married, not getting married doesn't make you any closer or farther from God.

Genesis 2:24 "Haven't you read, he replied, that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female, and said, For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh? "

Proverbs 19:14 - Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

1 Corinthians 7:8-9 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. (burn sexually; in other words if you can't control yourself sexually)

1 timothy 1:4 Nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.

Actually Bible says that the minister should be husband of one wife. (1 Timothy 3:2 ). So the question actually should be whether those who are not married should be serving as ministers.

Answer 2

• Orthodox priests are divided into two distinct groups, married clergymen, and monastic clergymen.
• In the Orthodox Church a married man may be ordained to the priesthood. His marriage, however, must be the first for both him and his wife. He may not remarry and continue in his ministry even if his wife should die. If a single man is ordained, he must remain monastic to retain his service. A priest-monk is called a hieromonk.
• Per Catholic religion sect; it may be pointed out that priests serve in the place of Christ and therefore, their ministry specially configures them to Christ. As is clear from Scripture, Christ was not married. By remaining celibate and devoting themselves to the service of the Church, priests more closely model, configure themselves to, and consecrate themselves to Christ.
