How To Become Ordained Minister For Wedding

By David Harris


When desiring to work in a church, whether as a pastor, priest, deacon or acolyte, a number of individuals complete courses at colleges and seminaries. In these cases, it can often take four to eight years to complete studies and go through ordination ceremonies. Whereas, those whom only desire to officiate at ceremonies can become an ordained minister for wedding ceremonies online.

In addition to weddings, those ordained through the Universal Life Church website can also provide a number of other services. In most cases, these individuals desire to provide interfaith services to people of different faiths and beliefs and will structure services to meet each specific need. Wheres, most of these individuals have a different point of view, so couples can easily find a minister who has similar beliefs.

For years, ULC ministers have provided a number of services such as civil unions, commitment ceremonies, funerals, memorials and weddings. While less common, a number of ULC ministers also provide marriage and relationship counseling. To become an ordained minister, all anyone needs to do is fill out the form on the website. After which, the individual can immediately provide these and other services as sanctioned by the ULC and State of residence.

As ordination is free, fast and simple, those whom become ordained can be performing weddings legally upon ordination. While this is the case, it is best to wait until credentials can be requested and returned by mail. In addition, ULC offers a wedding ceremony kit which can be quite useful to both the couple and officiant.

For over 40 years, Universal Life Church has been an active and ever growing organization. In fact, with over 20 million ministers having been ordained around the world, it is already one of the largest. While there are only two tenets with which individuals must agree to become ordained, these are extremely important.

The first of these two rules include doing that which is right. Whereas, the second is agreeing that all individuals have freedom of religion and the right to worship based on personal beliefs. If an individual believes in, and follows these two rules, one can be ordained in a matter of minutes.

Once ordained, a global training center along with several videos can provide information related to all the services ULC ministers offer. The most common of these services include, starting a church, writing and delivering sermons, State marriage laws, script generation for weddings, marriage and relationship counseling, funerals, memorials and baptisms.

As an organization with a long history and outstanding members, ULC takes great pride in assisting ministers on an ongoing basis. If a ULC minister has ideas or suggestions which can improve the website, video academy or training area, the church encourages individuals to submit the information through a link on the website. Whereas, if ministers want to dive deeper into religious and spiritual topics, there are several books and other resources available on the site which can aid one in doing so.
