Serving the communities of Grand Forks, North Dakota and East Grand Forks, Minnesota as well as surrounding areas in both states, Rev. Rob Howard is available for weddings, commitment ceremonies, renewal of vows ceremonies, baby naming and blessing ceremonies, house blessings and funerals.  Rev. Rob believes that two people in love, regardless of race, religion, or gender, have the right to be joined together in the presence of God and their loved ones.  His personal philosophy comes from the words of Mahatma Ghandi:  "Where there is love there is life."

Each ceremony Rev. Rob crafts is a custom ceremony, based on input regarding vows, readings, and options from the bride and groom.  It is his belief that each couple deserves the ceremony of their dreams without having to pay extra for it.

Rev. Rob Howard was ordained in January 2003 by the Universal Life Church, with international headquarters located in Modesto, California.  He moved to North Dakota from Missouri in November 2006 to be closer to his grandchildren, and has been performing weddings in North Dakota and Minnesota since May 2008. In addition to writing and performing wedding ceremonies, he also serves as host and moderator for the Spiritual Seekers Fellowship which meets at The Twelve Houses, 216 S. 3rd Street, Grand Forks, ND at 10:00 am every Sunday.
