I attend a lutheran elca church my soon to be husband attends  an independant baptist church.  I have always wanted my old pastor to marry me.  I was wondering if I would be able to have a joint service with my finance's preacher and my old pastor in my finance's church.  I have attended his church with him many times over the years. My mom is telling me it would be be allowed,.  My old pastor is a female.

any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    The only way to know is to ask the two pastors.

    Have you called your former pastor to seek her guidance?  She will, I'm sure, have some good advice for you.  Good luck!

    Independent Baptist church make up their own rules generally, but tradtional Baptist do not believe in women preachers.  It may cause a problem because of that, I would check with the church.
