About Our Connections

Years ago I found a new feeling.

If you've ever heard the sound of a baby's first breath, or been at a bedside for someone's last, you might know this feeling too. For this majesty of life's biggest moment I will always search.

About Us

Final Word Connection was founded in 2013 by Dr. David McFadden as a culmination of 30+ years of pastoral and patient care. As a matter of fact, it was founded to bring all of Dr. McFadden's, and other like-minded pastors, skills to one place. Moreover, they all have a strong desire to bring people closer together through some of the most important events of their lives and truly enjoy officiating them.  Furthermore, Final Word Connection allows everyone on staff to serve greater Chicagoland, greater Phoenix, greater Terre Haute, and greater Charlotte in this way.

With this in mind, we can't wait to officiate your ceremony.

As a company we have a strong commitment to the following:
An unwavering belief in God.
There is a commitment as non-denominational Christians to be open to all.
To maintain an authentic group accepting people where and as they are.
And as a group, we do not judge, and have a commitment to have fun in all of our work.
In conclusion, this organization desires to make your ceremony unique, memorable and to fit you as a couple.
