Becoming a minister with the AMM does not require you to hold any particular spiritual belief. We only ask that you agree to our organization's three tenets, which are listed on our ordination application.
There's no catch! This is a completely free service that we are happy to provide to our ministers. That said, please note that in some states there may be additional registration requirements beyond simply becoming a minister.

I have always helped my loving husband to the weddings for our little church when he was alive and now I have been asked to do one which is an honor. The wedding isn't till October so this gives me time to refresh myself. This was very simple as I haven't done much since he passed away, so this is me continuing to do the works of God! Thank you so much

There are plenty of ways to support our efforts, from fighting for our ministers rights in Virginia, to supporting other organizations that are committed to leaving this world a better place than we found it.
American Marriage Ministries is one of thousands of Non-Profit Charities working in our communities. While we strive for religious and personal freedom, other organizations are working just as hard in other areas of society. We're all in this together.
