I Have Been Ordained! Reverend Hunt? Minister Hunt?

Congratulations! You are now legally ordained for life, though you may relinquish your credentials at any time. AS OF Thursday the 23rd of January 2014 YOU HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF THE PRESTIGIOUS CLERGY. You have earned a title worthy of admiration and respect.

Let it be known on this date that in accordance with the laws of the Universal Life Church Monastery, as ordaining officer, I, Brother Martin, do ordain you into our ministry. From this day forward, you are entitled to all of the rights of an ordained minister. You have the authority to perform marriages, baptisms, and all other ceremonies of the church. You are an independent minister of this church. This is a position that carries with it a burden of responsibility; please respect others and comply with the laws of the land.

The Universal Life Church has only two tenets:

To promote freedom of religion
To do that which is right

The Universal Life Church Monastery has recorded your application for ordination.

As a member of the Universal Life Church you are granted the ability to:

• Perform marriages, funerals, baptisms, ceremonial rites, and last rites.
• Start your own church, be it brick & mortar or online.
• Absolve others of their sins.
• Use the title Reverend, Minister, Healer, Educator, and more.

If you want to start your own Ministry, we recommend that you purchase a Ministry In A Box . There is also the Wedding Business Kit which contains everything you need to start your wedding ministry. It's a turn-key operation that will start you on your way to a successful business.

MINISTERIAL CREDENTIALS

With your ordination, you received an online receipt. This is for your personal use only and is not an official document.

Before performing your first marriage, please read the marriage training information. When you perform a wedding, you are responsible for ensuring its legality. If you have any questions about the legality of performing a wedding in your area, please contact your local County Clerk. * The church realizes that this new legal status as an ordained minister is difficult to realize. It is almost too good to be true - but it is. In St. John 15:16 it states that God chose you, not the other way around. Your ordination is of God from before the foundation of the earth - according to the Bible. You are not required to believe this, it is offered only as one source of your seeking ordination. It is the responsibility of the Church and the duty of the Monastery to assist you in your new ministry whatever it may be as long as it complies with the two tenets of the ULC: to promote freedom of religion and to do that which is right and within the law.
