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.

While most churches will not adopt these individuals to lead congregations in worship on a long-term or permanent basis, these individuals can set up an online or fixed church if so desired. In most cases, those doing so are working towards the goal of equality and freedom of religion. For, since each minister often has a different idea as to the Creator, Great Mystery, Great Spirit and faith, the ones who do so are generally targeting either more liberal or more conservative audiences.

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.

While individuals can provide these services, most prefer to wait until having received the official credentials in the mail. In addition to the credentials, the website offers a number of other products related to performing weddings and other services. Whereas, there also a number of videos with regards to different religious and spiritual topics available through the training center.

The organization is now one of the fasting growing in the world. Whereas, it is already considered the largest as over 20 million ministers have been ordained over the last 40 years. One reason the church is so popular is that there are only two tenets an individual must share in order to become ordained.

The two rules which all ULC ministers must agree to follow are, to do only that which is right and agree that all people have the right and are free to worship as each sees fit. If an individual agrees with these two tenets, joining the Universal Life Church and becoming part of the global family can provide a number of opportunities.

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.

The Universal Church takes a lot of pride in helping those whom have decided to become ministers. ULC is also welcome to, and interested in, any topics or suggestions ministers might have with regards to the training, video, website or other areas. As such, ULC ministers are encouraged to submit this information on a regular basis.
