Universal Life Church

 Online Ordination

At first it was for a joke - a friend of mine told me about the ULC and I did a search. I was ordained in October 2002 (about the same time I looked up the ULC through this site I believe - or the HQ site as I know I am on the ULC's official "roll call".) After a short time I came back to this site (June 2003) and joined the forum. I have since received the basic ministry package (before the CD-ROM was included). Last year I received a few books and the D.D. This year was more books.

I really like calling myself "Reverend" and have made up some business cards that have may "Reve." and "D.D." included - mainly to show off to people. I really don't use my Reverend too much though as the Government here is not really that big on the ULC or other "fringe" churches. However, if I am complaining about something, or do a "Letter to the Editor", I use my "Reverend" and "D.D."

At first, I never really thought of my credential as more than fun, but I am taking it more seriously now. I really enjoy being a Reverend.

Becoming Ordained

Dear Rev. Amy Long,

I became a ordained minister with the Universal Life Church, because I believe mortals are called to Christ's ministry by Christ. Christ does not require a four year degree at a seminary school. Education is always good for the individual, but it is not necessary to preach the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus, did not select the educated scholars of the time to be his 12 apostles, he picked tax collectors, fisherman, unlearned mortals, etc. Why, because when you preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, not adding or subtracting anything from the word of God, the Holy Spirit will teach you what you need to say or know, when the time comes. The Universal Life Church, asks only that we be honest and true to ourselves and helpful to our brothers and sisters.

Since, I have been ordained, I have mostly officiated at funerals, now I would not have picked this way to serve, but this must be my calling at the time. To serve and give comfort to those that mourn. I have been told several times that I have the Holy Spirit guiding me in my funeral sermons, and I usually get asked where I went to school, when I tell them I did not attend a seminary, most are surprised, and I feel they think I am joking. But, I pray and give myself to the Holy Spirit, who knows all, and helps us when needed.

I say all this to show that the Universal Life Church is doing a service to the mortals of this earth, male and female, with no rejection because of ones race, sex, education level, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.

God Bless and keep the Universal Life Church.

Reverend Dennis William Hawkins

Unincorporated Jefferson County, Colorado

Becoming a Minister

Universal Life Church
Dear Amy,

I truly appreciate your notes of encouragement you e-mail...they are very empowering.... Empowering others has been my life mission.  I was a Pentecostal minister around 25 years ago and as I grew in my walk into the spiritual knowing....I left the church.  I have been empowering others with the love of God ever since.  I have been taking classes from you and received my ordination in 2008.  I have retired from the corp. world and now dedicate my life full time to encouraging others on their path.

I have been living with Multiple Myeloma for the last 10 years and have been keeping it at arms reach.  I am now in need of treatment and only want to look at this as an opportunity to claim my miracle and see the MAGIC happen as a witness of the amazing power of the Universe giving others the gift of hope in the midst of their illness as well as myself.  There is a purpose in all things and I know this is just as it is suppose to be....I just don't want to miss the Divine purpose!

I had the "push" to write you and ask for your prayers and remembrance of me as I continue my journey while being a vessel of truth and a reflection of the Divine Love.  If you are interested in seeing a little more about me....please go to my website below and read my words.  I am also the organizer of Celebration of Spiritual Awakening and find this a path of empowerment for those who seek their Divine Knowing.

I have voted for you and am very proud of who you are.

Love and Light,

Karin

Becoming an Ordained Minister

Universal Life Church - Become an ordained minister

          Alexandra Rose became a member of ULC because she knew from a very early age that she wanted to work with others. Even though the method and means to achieve that were as yet uncharted territory during her early learning, her lifelong quest for knowledge and enlightenment has instilled in her a devotion to self-discovery and working with her clients. Initially, she pursued an education in Social Work, however once the world of alternative therapies and non-traditional ministry was opened, her path began to unfold. About a year after intensely studying one of these modalities, she received what in a traditional ministry is referred to as a “calling”, the deep knowing that she was to be a spiritual counselor. Having been raised in a moderately observant Jewish home, this came as a surprise. She had not considered ministry as a part of her path. The desire to bridge these led to a period of searching, both inwardly and via various external resources to discern how to follow this guidance. It was during one of the times, in the Spring of 2004 that she received her ordination through ULC.

Since that time, service to others has continued to evolve and her commitment deepens. She feels truly blessed to have been chosen to serve others through God/Goddess’ word and honors all paths and traditions. One of the key elements of her work is bringing others to the deep recognition we all carry within a spark of divinity, whether you choose to refer to this as soul, higher power, guide, etc. At this point, she is honored to have those who are ready for this work drawn and receptive to the combination of therapeutic modalities, prayer and actively engaging guidance, which encompass her sessions. The healing room in which she works contains many “spiritual” tools; from smudge supplies to angel statues. At any given moment she may stop to utilize these to further a client’s goals or ease their transition to the next level.

Currently, I am impassioned about working with women to reclaim their power and remember their place as torchbearers and nurturers of the spirit. I envision a world in which men and women view each other as spiritual partners, joined in service to the healing of our world so that all live in freedom and peace, grounded in knowing our true selves. We move forward with the certainty that no problem is insurmountable when we each add our unique talents with a sincere to serve. My dedication to all who work with me, and fully engage, is to provide experiences where they see the light within more brightly and know themselves more fully than ever before.

For more information, go to http://www.alexandrar.com or http://www.proudwomencircles.com or call me directly at 800-508-6147.

May your days be filled with joy, your nights be peaceful and all of your life be an experience of love always!

Blessings always,

Rev. Alexandra Rose

Universal Life Church

Vision  Fulfilled  At  Becoming a Universal Life Church Minister

I  am  very  thankful  to  God  for  giving  me  a  godly  parents  who  nurtured  and  train  in  the  way I should go. At the early age I learned that there is a powerful God who creates every living things and a very loving God.

It was on May 3, 1965 when I personally accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord of my life. Then on December 31, 1975 when I feel the Lord is calling me for full time service the event was youth camp.

After completing high school I enter Baptist Bible College my religious affiliation to receive ministerial training. After four years of study I graduated through the grace of God with the degree on Bachelor Of Religious Education.

On May 3, 1980 up to the present I am pastoring a Baptist congregation church.For twenty seven years of serving the Lord I am very happy no regrets at all.

I become an Ordained Minister of ULC on April 20, 2007 and I join the group because the Holy Spirit leads me because their beliefs is not denominational, their objective is to train the servant of God.goal is to glorify God, and their teachings are biblical.

As pastor not only I am preaching and teaching the word of God I also perform the following as my duties such as; children dedication, water baptism. funeral services, solemnizing weddings and offering counsel to the broken-hearted.

My ministry includes visiting the sick at home or in hospital, visiting the prisoner, and comforting the elderly.

I'm also having community services like, blessings of government buildings, giving lectures on drugs addiction, pornography, environment. and other issue that are interesting.

These services render really affect my whole being because I learn to adjust and develop my personal relationship with all kinds of people.

I am doing this because of the love and compassion of Christ that has been imparted to my life. And to share the love of God to all human beings.

There are many people who touches my heart people who are drug addict, murderer, drunkards, thief, immoral who has been change by the power of God tears are falling in my eyes every time I see how the Lord changed their lives and they are serving the Lord joyfully.

For me joining the ULC family is a vision that has been fulfilled.

Rev. Danilo E. Ines

Universal Life Church - Becoming an Ordained Minister

TRUST HIM - OBEY HIM
Rev. Franklin D. Coleman (Minister Frank)
Chicago, Illinois
Minister Frank is a Chicago Firefighter and member of New Joy Divine Full Gospel Church, in Chicago, Founded and Pastored by Apostle Aaron L. Royster and Prophetess Mable L. Royster. Minister Frank currently serves as an Ordained Minister facilitating the church’s Men Servants Ministry and publishes the weekly e-mail newsletter “MSM CONNECTIONS” that has announcements, news, recommendations, articles, and other information helpful to men in their spiritual growth. He is a member of the Trustee Board and plays guitar in the Anointed Voices of Praise Band.

New Joy Divine has been the church home for Frank and his wife Linda since 1997. Linda served as the president of the Usher Board for a few years and is a licensed minister.  Minister Frank is an active Advisor for the Oak Lawn Lighthouse of Aglow International, an interdenominational organization of Christian women in 137 nations around the world.


Minister Frank has a heart for Men’s Ministry and believes that until men come to a full understanding of their spiritual role in the household, their family’s true potential will never be realized. To that end, Minister Frank founded “Path Of Life Ministries”, a Web Ministry with articles and links to resources to help put men on the Path Of Life.


Education:
Associate of Arts degree in Divinity from the Ohio Valley Biblical Academy, Saint John Theological Seminary.

Coursework in World Religions, Personal Development and Mentoring.
Continuing education and support from Cathedral University (via correspondence), The Online Bible College (via correspondence), World Bible School (via correspondence).

"Now all of that sounds fine & good now. But where did I come from?" says Minister Frank,
"From a "bottom" in 1990, God took me on a journey to learn how to trust and obey Him."


"I don't have a "rags to riches" testimony. God did not perform a miracle healing in my body, nor did He speak to me in an audible voice. I can tell you this; God saved my marriage from my infidelity. God delivered me from nearly losing everything as a "functional alcoholic." Two years after a corporate "down-sizing" God spared my family the pain of foreclosure with an "11th hour-59th minute" financial miracle. God moved hearts and minds to finance two vehicles in the midst of bad credit with the finance officers stating that they didn't know why they approved us. God is a good God!"


Minister Frank continues, "There are many more "acts of a God kind" that I could recite, but, there is a message: God requires only two things from us: TRUST HIM and OBEY HIM. That's the simple version, we can play around with the details all we want but, that's my bottom line."


"I was ordained as a ULC minister in 2001 in order to legitimize the ministry works I was involved in. Shortly thereafter, my Pastor recognized the gifts God put in me and offered Ordination through our local church. I was Ordained by New Joy Divine Full Gospel Church in 2002."


"God has since opened the door to a "Marriage Ministry" in addition to my Men's & Missions ministries works."


"All I have to say is that Universal Life Church was there when I needed the support and legal standing and that, I believe, put my spirit in a mode to let my light shine so bright that others could see it."


God bless you and keep you always!


Rev. Franklin D. Coleman
