FREE ONLINE ORDINATIONBecoming an ordained minister has never been easier, thanks to our proprietary online ordination process. As long as you are over the age of 18, and submit your digital application as a considered, deliberate, and responsible act, you can become legally ordained in less than a minute.
Unlike other churches, we do not require our ministers to hold any particular beliefs and welcome folks of all religious backgrounds (and non-religious). We offer ideological and spiritual support and acceptance - providing that you agree to our simple belief in respect and dignity for all people.
Our ordination is free because we believe that every couple should have their wedding officiated by someone that shares their values and beliefs -- which is usually a friend or family member. By not charging a fee, we are able to provide this service to anyone that wants. We encourage you to visit our store and consider purchasing books or other materials, which helps us offer this free service.
