Ordination for Empowerment and Equality

Are you tired of being told that you don't belong because of who you are? The Universal Life Church (ULC) is here to change that. We believe that everyone should have the freedom to practice their faith as they choose without interference, regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or faith background. We see ordination as a liberatory act that empowers people to act on their desire to work for a better world.

At the ULC, we were founded on two key tenets: to do that which is right, and to allow everyone the freedom to practice their faith as they choose (so long as they do not infringe upon the rights of others). These principles are not just words on paper; they are deeply ingrained in our philosophical beliefs, which manifest themselves as Church policies and principles.

Unlike other faith communities that may seek to exclude individuals based on their background or beliefs, the ULC welcomes everyone. We appreciate the diversity of faiths in the world and believe that all individuals are equal. Our goal is to tear down barriers to ordination rather than put them up, making it as easy as possible for individuals to get ordained and get started on the important stuff: practicing and sharing their faith.

When you become ordained with the ULC, you agree to follow the basic tenet of doing that which is right. We seek to uphold this philosophy and lead by example, supporting charities and projects that create positive change in the community and beyond. The ULC is not just about talk; it is about action.

In conclusion, the Universal Life Church is a faith community that values every individual, regardless of their background or beliefs. Our mission is to provide a home for those who have trouble finding that place elsewhere and to support the rights of our ministers to express their faith as they please. If you're tired of feeling excluded from traditional faith communities or seeking a faith community that embraces diversity and inclusivity, then the Universal Life Church is the perfect option for you. Apply for ordination today and become part of a community that empowers you to make a difference in the world.
