I LOVE, Love... Therefore I LOVE officianting Weddings!!
I am an Ordained Minister through The Universal Life Church (ULC). This is a non-denominational religious organization that brings together people from all walks of life. We embrace individuals across the spiritual spectrum; anyone who wants to join our body of faith is welcome to do so. Further, the ULC is proud to open its doors to all people, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, or any other defining characteristic.
The ULC has only two core tenets that ministers must uphold:
* Do only that which is right.
* Every individual is free to practice their religion however they like as long as their actions do not impinge upon the rights or freedoms of others and are in accordance with the law.
The ULC champions religious freedom, social justice, and spiritual expression. We never waver in our conviction that performing spiritual duties is a right that all should share, and we will always stand up for our minister-members in this regard. Furthermore, we’ve made it our mission to spread these freedoms far and wide, empowering people of all walks of life to take up the work of ministry on their own terms, and in ways that make the most sense for them.
Whether that means worshiping one God, or many gods; whether you choose to perform one spiritual ceremony a year or twenty – we stand with you.
In short: the ULC welcomes you just as you are, whoever you are and hopes to empower you to explore your faith however you see fit.
Alittle bit of HistoryThe Universal Life Church Ministries (ULCM) is philosophically descended from some of the ideas of the Universal Life Church founded in the 1950s by Kirby Hensley. That original Modesto ULC was accused of some unethical practices. The ULCM has no links to that earlier organization, and instead is focused on upholding positive values and promoting justice and equality worldwide.
Our church seeks to create a large tent for people of all different spiritual beliefs and backgrounds to thrive beneath. This peaceful coexistence of faith traditions is dependent upon certain founding ideals that guide everything we do. For example, by rejecting the strict rules and requirements common among more traditional religious organizations, the ULCM encourages people to pursue their own spiritual paths – free of unwanted impositions.
This means welcoming members from across the spectrum of spiritual beliefs, whether Jewish or Atheist, Christian or Hindu, Muslim or Pagan. Our millions of ministers work to support marginalized and oppressed groups in the spirit of Christ, King, Kennedy, and Gandhi. Unlike other large international churches, we do not require our ministers or congregants to show deference to any central leadership or hierarchy, and we believe in equality among all members. The ULCM very intentionally has no hierarchy, nor does it ask its members to follow arbitrary demands for the sake of tradition, such as taking religious tests. Our belief is that everyone is equal, and it’s important to treat people that way.
Woven into this guiding belief is the wider battle for equality and justice the ULC has been proud to spearhead. The Church has secured crucial wins for religious freedom by standing up for its members and demanding the rights bestowed upon them are fully recognized.
ULC ministers were also closely involved with the movement for marriage equality and were proud to officiate some of the first same-sex weddings following that important victory.
Good WorksThe ULC supports many organizations that work for oppressed or underrepresented individuals. We are very proud of the work and victories that we've helped to win in areas such as religious freedom and the legalization of same-sex marriage. We are proud to donate to these causes and help be a force for change.
In line with our motto that “we are all children of the same universe,” the ULC supports a range of charitable organizations that strive to make the world freer and more equal for all of Earth’s citizens.
