We believe that we were all ordained by God to Love, Aid and Nurture each
other unto infinity. Each Soul wakes to its own Ministry in its own time. Each

soul's Ministry is as different as their individual journeys. Some will be called
to Heal, some as Missionaries, some to the Podium, some to an Outreach
Program, and some as Teachers or even a Music Ministry, just to name a few.
The possibilities are as vast as the areas in which human nature takes us.

We believe that God did not intend for any Church to decide the qualifications
or preparedness of a Soul's Ministry. It is up to each soul to seek Ordination
when they receive the call, and know that they are ready to begin their Ministry.

Anyone may be Ordained as a "Minister at Large" in our Church by virtue of
submitting an application and an application fee. This Application Fee covers
the expenses of the Church, and is not a charge for the Ordination. The
Application Fee, does however cover the cost of the Signs of Office which are

sent to you upon Ordination. These include a "Certificate of Ordination",
Ministerial I.D., and Ministerial Dash Card".

MINISTERIAL CAVEATS

Being ordained as a “Minister at Large” does not necessarily prepare you for
running a Church or working on the Podium. I encourage you to take
classes in addition to the Ordination, to prepare you for these objectives. In
addition to classes, you should research State and Federal requirements and

rules pertaining to non-profit organizations.

Please DO NOT Counsel anyone with regard to anything but Spiritual
Matters, if you are not a trained and credentialed Counselor.

Before you Offitiate a Marriage, be sure to check the state and local rules of
qualification as a valid Officiant. In most cases, being Ordained by your
Church is the only qualification that is required; but there are a few places,
like New York City, that requires certification by the City.

The following are excerpts with regard to "Ordination According to the Order
of Melchizedek":
