Your request for ordination has been processed, and you are now an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church in Modesto, California! Please record the above date of ordination for your records, as you may need this information in the future to fill out the various forms of the clergy. If you were ordained previously, the above date will constitute a valid date upon which you were RE-ordained. Ordination is for life, without price, and without question of your specific beliefs. You do not need to pay any tithe, donation, or offering of any kind, now or in the future.
Ordinations are individually reviewed and forwarded to Universal Life Church International Headquarters in Modesto, California, where it will be recorded in the permanent church records.
As a minister, you are authorized by the church to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church (except circumcision), including weddings, funerals, baptisms and blessings, subject to the laws of your country, state, or locality. Prior to conducting any civil ceremony (such as marriages), you should know and comply with the laws pertaining to your area of jurisdiction.
You are entitled to all privileges and courtesies normally offered to members of the clergy.
Your commitment is to always do the right thing. It is your responsibility to peacefully and sincerely determine the right course of action, and to avoid infringing on the rights of others. You alone are responsible for your actions as a minister.

It is not a piece of paper which makes you a minister. However, many people wish to have a certificate, wallet card, or other record of their status as a minister. Such items are particularly useful to those who wish to perform marriages. It can serve to reassure the bride and groom (or their parents!) of the legality of the marriage.
Many ministers like to provide the couple with an authentic Universal Life Church Marriage Certificate for them to include among their wedding keepsakes. Others just want to have a professionally printed certificate as a permanent record of their ordination.

These packages contain various documents, literature, and helps for various situations. Details on the contents of these packages follows at the end of this message.
