An ordination from the ULC is free of cost or need to complete a specific class, it is legal and allows you to answer your call to be a minister

The Universal Life Church is a church which provides ordination to all that request it at no cost to them. This is something that can not be said about any other widely accepted group. The reason that the Universal Life Church decided to make this choice is their belief that becoming ordained is not something that a mortal person should have the authority to designate. According to their beliefs, becoming ordained is a spiritual process, and no one should have the authority to charge money or try to control the ordination of another person.

Members of the church gain access to many rights given to those who practice the ministry across a variety of faiths. Their ordination is legally binding, and as long as they document their status as a minister legally, they may perform a wedding, a funeral or many other services that are frequently conducted by religious officiants. The church embraces people of all lifestyles and former creeds and encourages constant learning, growth and spiritual meditation in order to stay close to the principles which encouraged you to come to the church and join their ministry in the first place. The duties of ceremonies such as performing a wedding are sacrosanct, and the church encourages that members reflect upon their actions when engaging in such special events.

The church was founded to welcome anyone called to embrace their spirituality and be a part of the congregation. The church strongly advocates for freedom of religion, believing in the peaceable right to do good as your own personal beliefs dictate. The church does not preach a specific creed nor follow the teachings of any specific religion, modern or ancient. It simply embraces the idea that human beings are spiritual creatures who have the will and freedom to make positive choices within their own moral structure.

The only time cost comes into play is if you require documentation to perform a wedding, start a church, or offer counseling, and for these circumstances, it is not always required.  If you do need documentation, you can visit the website and the church asks that you cover the costs of the materials you request. The website for the church features many options, and information about ordination is also available on the site. A Universal Life Church discussion board is present to answer any questions and field any comments visitors may have regarding the church. Via the website, it is also possible to subscribe to the newsletter of the church or to submit anonymous prayer requests to the pastor of the Seattle branch. You may contact a support center via the website for any issues you may have with ordination, and you also have the option to order materials and supplies from the church. The site features a directory of ordained ministers nationwide for anyone who may be interested in being listed in a directory or contacting a minister of the church to perform a spiritual ceremony such as a wedding for them. The website also offers an online confessional, an opportunity for burdened souls to relieve their conscience by seeking forgiveness for sins.
