How To Become Ordained With The Universal Life Church Monastery

Ordination with the Universal Life Church Monastery (ULCM) means that an individual is licensed by the church to perform all the duties & ministerial services afforded to a recognized member of the "Clergy," such as baptisms, marriages, funerals, and allows such ordained persons the right to hold church meetings. Ordination Credentials are valid for life. We here at the Monastery believe that the stirring of your heart to become an ordained minister, qualifies you as one already. Many Scriptures refer to this fact already and we do not question them here.. What we do is stand between you and the Federal Government and between you and the State, not between you and your God. We meet the legality ordination requirements for ministers as outlined by both the Federal & State Governments.

Prior to your ordination we encourage you to seek within to discover your primary purpose and hope that as a part of that purpose you always seek to do, "That Which Is Right," not simply for yourself, but for the purposes of advancing the cause of freedom of religion, free speech, increase & peace for all persons whose lives you will assuredly touch.

The process of receiving Your Ordination is quite simple.. Here are a few Main Points To Consider During Your Ordination Process:To Begin Your process of Ordination we invite you to visit - http://www.themonastery.org/?destination=ordination
