Ordination

1. Is Ordination Really Free?

   The Ordination Process Is Free Through The ULC World Headquarters, Inc. This Being Noted, Those Individuals Ordained As Faith Based Ministers Through Us Are Required To Purchase Their Ministerial Credentials.

   More So, We View An Individuals Ordination As A Faith Based Minister Quite Seriously & Assert That, Once Ordained, An Individual Is Not Only Empowered But Required By God To Serve Actively In The Ministry They Are Called To.  

   DON'T GET SCAMMED BY
   

   FREE ORDINATION OFFERS

   Other Churches promote claims of Free Ordination. Don't let them fool you! They will only hit you up to overpay for Ordination Certificates, Letters in Good Standing and Ministry Kits with worthless parking permits, press passes, ID cards and etc. By law to be legally ordained in all 50 US States, you must purchase or receive Credentials of Proof of your Ordination.

   ULTIMATELY YOU END UP PAYING A LOT MORE

   THAN WHAT WE CHARGE FOR ORDINATION.
   

   In the Christian belief, the Bible states in St. John 15:16, " You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and Ordained you before the foundations of the Earth." This is very strong language, and difficult to fight when the Lord has decided something. Who on Earth can question God's decision, or claim that only their group may decide whom God chooses? These are words to contemplate when meeting a newly ordained Minister. Does the Lord not admonish you in Matt. 7:1-3 to judge not, lest Ye be judged? With this the Word of God, no other documentation should be required. Unfortunately, all fifty States demand some form of official paperwork to accept the official standing of the Minister. (As if the Word of God is not enough!)

    

   Becoming a legally Ordained Minister does not require God's sanctified approval, simply the approval of some legal church that accepts you as a spiritual leader within their organization.

    

   YOU ONLY BECOME ORDAINED LEGALLY when that legal church substantiating your ordination in their records, issues to you credentials of proof.
   

    

   Only than do you become legally ordained within the law.
   

    

   We Believe in Honesty, Integrity & Professionalism 
   

2. Is Ordination Legal?

   Yes. Our Ordination Process Is Far Beyond An "Online Ordination Assembly Line." We Ordain ONLY Those Individuals Seeking To Actively Participate In a Faith Based Ministry & Church. Individuals We Ordain Are Pre-Screened And, Since We, The Universal Life Church World Haedquarters, Inc., Are Viewed As A Legitimate Non-Profit Ministry Organization & As An Actual Church; Meeting All 14 Of The IRs Guidelines Set Out By The Internal Revenue Service - An Individual Is Legally Viewed As An Ordained Faith Based Minister Once They Complete The Ordination Process With Us.

3. Is Ordination Non-Denominational Or Christian?

   We offer Non-Denominational, Christian and Independant Catholic Ordinations.
   

4. How Long Does It Take For My Credentials Or Other Supplies Ordered To Be Processed?

   All Universal Life Church World Headquarters, Inc.,  certificates, degrees and titles are printed at our Headquarters in Crawfordville, FL. This is typically done on Thursdays and then postal mailed, via first class, priority mail (air mail when necessary), later that same day or on the following Friday.

   For all other items, we have distribution centers throughout the world, the USA, Canada, Jerusalem, UK, Australia, etc., shipment origin & timing is contingent on your location and storehouse existing inventories.

5. What Training/Education Do Your Christian Ordained Ministers Possess?

   Brothers and/or Sisters ordained in accord with the Christian Doctrine; within our Order of St Michaels (OSM) by the Universal Life Church World Headquarters, Inc.,, Come To Us With Various Training and Educational Backgrounds. Some Have Been Trained Through Seminary Schools Throughout The World. We Offer Advanced educational options available to these individuals at their discretion.

   These courses are, in part, based on what type of Ministry an individual seeks to pursue. We do have a fully accredited, staff-certified, theological seminary with degree programs in Biblical Study, Divinity, Pastoral Counseling  and Theology and Offer Associate Degrees, Bachelor Degrees, Master Degrees, Doctorate Degrees and Ph.D Degrees.

   We also offer a degree program in Biblical Hebrew. Most of our Ministers tend to pursue their Doctorate or Ph.D. in Ministry related Courses.

   As the world is ever changing and the independent minister is often required to "Wear many Hats," we encourage ongoing education & accountability in an individuals ministry service.
