Get Ordained Online

Where you start a ministry with advice and guidance.

Religious Ordination

We believe that anyone who feels called to serve should have the opportunity to do so. We have been ordaining both men and women from all walks of life, ensuring that everyone can express their religious freedom. Whether you want to perform weddings, start a church, or serve in another meaningful way, if you’re over the age of 18, we are here to provide you with religious ordination.

Your reasons for seeking ordination are deeply personal, and between you and God. Our mission is to assist you on your journey to fulfilling that calling, whatever it may be. For more than 20 years, our ministry has empowered individuals to become ordained ministers, and we take great pride in the incredible work our ministers have done around the world.

Ways to Serve as an Ordained Minister

Becoming ordained opens up a world of opportunities for service. From weddings to launching feeding programs for those in need, those who have been ordained have started missions globally. We extend this invitation to you as well, welcoming you into a diverse community of ministers who serve in countless ways.

By joining us, you’re stepping into a non-judgmental environment where your beliefs are respected. We value not just what you believe, but how you choose to serve your community with your ordination.

Approved Ministry Activities

Preside of Weddings

Becoming a wedding officiant allows you to offer a meaningful service to couples who may not have a personal connection to a minister (check with your local and state laws to ensure that online ordination is valid). By officiating weddings, you can help couples celebrate their love with the formality and reverence they desire.

Baptism Ceremonies

Baptism is a sacred ceremony, and as an ordained minister, you can perform this rite of passage for families wishing to raise their children in a loving, spiritual home. Whether through prayer, water sprinkling, or immersion, your ordination enables you to conduct baptisms legally, helping families lay a spiritual foundation for their children.

Funerals and Last Rites

When families lose a loved one, they often need the comfort and guidance of a minister. With your ordination, you can offer compassionate leadership during these difficult times, presiding over funerals and last rites in both funeral homes and gravesites. Your role as their minister can extend beyond weddings, offering continual support to families in need.

Hospital and other Field-Based Ministry

Supporting individuals in hospitals, eldercare facilities, and other healthcare settings requires pastoral credentials. As an ordained minister, you’ll be equipped to provide care, comfort, and spiritual support in these environments.

Outreach Ministry

For those who feel called to serve on the front lines—working directly with those in need—ordination provides credibility and authority. We have found outreach to be the most rewarding form of ministry. Helping others, often in dire circumstances, brings us closer to Christ-like service. After you’re ordained, we are available to offer guidance on setting up and running a successful outreach ministry.

Open Your Own Church

If your calling leads you to start a church, we’re here to help. Too often, traditional ordination pathways are filled with roadblocks that make the process unnecessarily difficult. We believe in keeping things simple, just as Jesus did for his disciples. We don’t ask you to jump through hoops—just that you serve honorably and lead your congregation with honesty and care.
