About Us

Sharra raised a family and worked in the community serving in various areas of personal
and spiritual counseling. She went back to college. In addition to four degrees she took
all the psychology classes needed to get her clinic license and Masters in counseling,
followed by a Masters in Comparative Religion and a PhD in Comparative Religion.

She has served as a marriage, family and troubled teen counselor, occasionally doing
sermons on Sunday. She pursues a spiritual path and has lead several groups for
enlightenment. She has been officiating funerals, weddings, blessings and healings since
1997. In 2002 she was awarded the title of Evangelist.

As Sharra continues on her spiritual path it brings her great pleasure and
joy to serve others in their rituals and celebrations of life, to help make
their dreams and hopes of such events beautiful and true. She approaches
all with the warm, loving, and caring professionalism she would want for
her own.

Reverends Sharra and Thomas McDearmont are ordained ministers and wedding
officiants, working independently in the Greater Austin Texas area and available to
conduct ceremonies such as baptisms, weddings, funerals, and blessings of little
children. Ceremonies are usually conducted at the location of your choice. (However
if you do not have a location in mind we can advise or help provide.)

Sharra grew up a Southern Baptist with a strong love
of God and fellow man. After high school and two
years of college she entered the Baptist Seminary with
dreams of making a difference by being a missionary
or at least part of a team of missionaries.

Over time she became disenchanted with the religious
teachings. They just didn't seem to align with the
truth and love of the 'God' she knew and loved. She
turned instead to a very fundamental Christian
church where she diligently served for over 25 years
in a leadership role for women.

After completing high school in Texas, Thomas was
drafted into Military Service. He determined that a
life in the Army was rewarding and he was able to
advise, counsel and help others in his leadership
capacity. He retired from the military after 23
years. Off to college he went for the next four years
earning his Bachelor of Science.

Thomas has experienced a great deal of Life Events: the death of his wife and two sons, his
parents and a grandchild. He has attended many churches over the years and the weddings
of six of his children. He has experienced so much of life and has so much capacity to help
others through the same. It was only natural that Thomas made his decision to serve God
and his fellowman in the ministry.

Though he had served for many years already, Thomas was officially ordained a Reverend
minister during a quiet ceremony before church members in May of 2002. In order to serve
in a greater capacity he has added a number of affiliations and changed one.

His greatest joy is to help celebrate life, mourn death,
and honor the important memories and events in
between. Through the celebrations and rituals of life
Thomas helps us to keep life sacred and to experience
the depth of our faith in our creator and in each other.
He continues in his path to be of service to people in
those times of greatest importance, birth, marriage and
death.
