YOU HAVE QUESTIONSWE HAVE ANSWERS

Is this Legal?

Yes! As a 501(c)3 non-profit, non-denominational church, our ability to ordain ministers is completely legal and once ordained, you have the legal right to officiate marriage ceremonies. This right is protected by the 1st amendment's religious freedom clause.

Do I have to be “Religious”? What if I am an Atheist, etc.?

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.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

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. In those states, you may need to order registration materials from our store.

GET INVOLVED


Our ministers' roles in their communities extend beyond officiating weddings. We are also community leaders, educators, and advocates. 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.
