We have been working with Rev. Dr. Rhonda (Interfaith Ministry Services LLC) for our September 2024 wedding. She has been very responsive to our ideas, and my fiance and I have both enjoyed our conversations with her thus far. We can't wait to see how the ceremony comes together over the next 10 months!
So far it has been a great experience. Rhonda asked what we want our ceremony to feel like and what type of route we want to go with the vows. She understands that the day is about the bride and groom. We still have a bit of time till our wedding, and she sent us some different poems to look over and or we can choose our own to add in. Also given us the choice to do a unity ceremony. She has so many options for everyone. She does it all!!!

We chose to have Rev. Rhonda because all of the great reviews we had read about her. When meeting Rev. Rhonda for the first time via zoom she was very nice, professional, and it was clear she wanted our needs and wants to come first. She asked us many questions to get to know us as a couple to customize and personalize our reception for us. Although we have not yet been married, I am confident that Rev. Rhonda will meet and exceed our needs for our special day.
Great to work with and went perfect!

Reverend Rhonda Schienle was exactly the type of minister we were looking for to preside over our ceremony. She listened to our needs and preferences and created a wedding ceremony that was perfect for us. She was timely in her responses, and she was helpful in her suggestions for our personalized ceremony. Her enthusiasm and caring spirit were evident throughout our special day. She was professional throughout the entire process, as well! We absolutely recommend her to any couple who is looking for a special, unique and memorable ceremony.
Thank you,
Allison and Christopher Gomez

Rev. Rhonda Schienle performed a special customized baptism ceremony for my son Joseph at our home in South Bend, Indiana.
The ceremony was done with such care and respect to our spiritual needs.
She took the time to balance the families Christian and Catholic backgrounds by using scripture from the Bible, songs, and in the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.
Rev. Rhonda also did a really nice video from the time Joseph was born, up to his age of baptism, which was 10 years old.
I'm also proud to share that Rhonda is my cousin and now the godmother of my son Joseph! Thank you again Rhonda, for making Joseph's baptism such a special day. ~ Tina Harmon
My daughter, Reverend Rhonda Schienle, flew from Indiana to Idaho to perform a beautiful Baptism ceremony for me in March of 2013. I believe it was God's plan that my Baptism happened when and how it should. I was preparing for semi-retirement and had been putting off getting Baptized for years.
A pair of synchronicities occurred surrounding my Baptism that I'd like to share. Prior to my baptism, Rhonda and I had a long discussion about my upcoming retirement and using Faith in my life rather than existing on fear-based reactions to life. That night I watched Pastor Joel Osteen on TV and his sermon was about Faith.
The day of my Baptism ceremony was very special, both spiritually and emotionally, and having my daughter perform it certainly added to both. Little did I know that my own daughter would have a calling to become a Minister and would be the one chosen to perform my Baptism. I am so grateful for that.
The morning after my Baptism, I found myself watching TV and another show came on discussing how fear can paralyze one's life. The timing and confirmation about what I had been discussing with Rhonda and my Baptism and all that had been going on in my life leading up this point let me know that this was a Divine coincidence and there is a reason for everything.

Very peaceful and calm and organized. Helped me find appropriate material.

Rhonda is a very calming presence. She helped organize the service and directed us to music and prayers that were appropriate and very supportive.

I have known Rev. Rhonda Schienle since 2011.
Our spiritual paths crossed while attending church in Hammond, Indiana and have remained connected ever since.
I have experienced the compassion and professional leadership in so many settings with Rev. Rhonda. She has led some services at church, officiated weddings and celebrations of life services. I admired how she interacted with those who were in grief or experiencing life and health challenges.
When Rev. Rhonda began a community spiritual group, this was one of those times witnessing how she handled a situation with one of our dear friends who had dementia (Alzheimer’s) who loved to teach. She encouraged him to get up and teach us and we all supported that with joy and love. I later informed Rev. Rhonda how that just made his day and he was so happy and proud.
When the time came, and our friend passed away it was Rev. Rhonda who officiated his funeral and celebrated his life with the same love and thoughtfulness.
I admire Rev. Rhonda’s work ethic, integrity and will see a situation through to completion for her couples, community and families.

Rhonda did a tree dedication service for my beloved mother on her first heavenly birthday. It was the most touching service. Rhonda had everything set up so nicely, and added many personal touches that represented my mother perfectly. It was the perfect way to remember my mother and brought so much joy to me at such a difficult time. I could not thank Rhonda enough for all she did that day. I would recommend her for any dedication or celebration you may have. Thank you Rhonda!

It is with great pleasure to write a testimonial regarding Rev. Rhonda Schienle and the sacred ceremony that she so lovingly was willing to do for me.
After a few conversations with Rev. Rhonda about my wishes of wanting my Husband and Grandson’s ashes to be consecrated, she took the time to come up with a beautiful ceremony that met my specific needs.
Rev. Rhonda came to my home with prepared materials that included candles, prayers, holy water and anointing oil for this sacred ceremony. She even offered a certificate and the date of the ceremony for my family and records.
After the ceremony, I felt peace in my mind and heart.

It was an experience beyond my expectations. The exercises are so well laid out. She guides you through the exercises and is there to answer questions on this live Zoom class. It was a game changer for me. I was actually so moved by the automatic writing session, that I am going to frame it and keep it on my desk!
This intention circle has put me way ahead of where I would have been for my 2020 goals. They are now action steps I am already working on daily. Thank you so much Rev. Rhonda.
Blessings,
Rev. Teal Gray
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the intention circle. It was very tranquil, peaceful and a deep inner peace I had during this experience.
Much love, Rebecca
