At GetOrdained.com, we believe that anyone who feels called to serve should have the opportunity to do so. Since 1999, 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 legal 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.
Becoming ordained opens up a world of opportunities for service. From officiating weddings to launching feeding programs for those in need, those who have been ordained through GetOrdained.com 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.
Becoming a wedding officiant allows you to offer a meaningful service to couples who may not have a personal connection to a minister. By officiating weddings, you can help couples celebrate their love with the formality and reverence they desire, and as an ordained minister, you’ll have the legal authority to sign wedding licenses and certificates.
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.
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.
For those who feel called to serve in hospitals, jails, or on military bases, a Chaplain title can often grant you access to these facilities. Many institutions require chaplains to perform specific religious duties, from leading prayers to offering pastoral care. At GetOrdained.com, we can provide you with a Chaplain title and a ministry ID card, granting you the credentials needed to serve where it’s most needed.
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. Many facilities require that ministers hold an ID card to enter after visiting hours, and we can provide this along with your legal ordination.
For those who feel called to serve on the front lines—working directly with those in need—ordination provides credibility and authority. As the Director of GetOrdained.com and Street Bishop Ministries, I’ve 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. At GetOrdained.com, 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.
Ordination through our ministry gives you the legitimacy and credentials you need to establish a church, and we can assist with the necessary steps, such as creating By-Laws for your congregation. With our support, you can confidently begin your journey as a church leader.
