Rev Ashley Duvall
Ordained Minister in Ashland, Virginia
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Hello! I am a certified ordained Minister who's currently working on a degree for Prison Ministry practice. I feel deeply for people that are marginalized, dehumanized and devalued just for the sake of being different. Love is love, love cannot be wrong. I practice the teachings of Jesus, not an organized religion that is used as a tool by man. I also support and perform services for all faiths, religions and beliefs. I can officiate weddings, baptisms, funerals and counseling. My experience in counseling has been with people in recovery struggling with addiction and mental illness, youth, autistic children and families, those struggling with homelessness, premarital, marriage and relationships, domestic abuse victims. Galatians 3:28. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Where are you from?
Virginia, Florida, West Virginia
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
To inspire love, respect all lives & always listen with an open heart where judgment does not reside. I'm also working on different certifications and a degree in order to practice Prison Ministry, my goal is to serve as a prison chaplain.

interfaith, my spirituality is deeply rooted in empathy, compassion and acceptance for all of humanity. I follow and practice the teachings of Jesus Christ, not a specific organized religion. I believe man uses organized religion as a tool instead of actually practicing it.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Ashland, VA wedding officiant?
I have been in recovery for over 10 years. I'm a domestic abuse survivor, cancer survivor, matriarch and mother, humanitarian and humble servant to humankind. Judgment of others doesn't have a place in my heart or spirit. I'm also an artist and mother to an amazing autistic son!
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I reside in Virginia but can travel to DC, West Virginia, North Carolina. I don't charge for any service but I do ask that you cover any expenses required. If you insist on a fee then I ask that you donate to Saint Jude's Children's Hospital.
