James Staunton
Ordained Minister in Reidsville, North Carolina
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
First ordained because I found I wasn't happy with the schism of local churches at the time and wanted to found my own church and ministry. I ound I prefer not to work in brick and morter but travel to work with people.
Where are you from?
Originally Richmond, VA, now in North Carolina.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
Spiritual guidance of others and support through the Word. I see myself as a Chaplain. A listener and guide to those who need it. I don't seek to convert, but to help those who are troubled or grieving, as well as those who want to believe but have questions. I have my faith and will gladly share it but I believe that everyone must want to believe, not be told to. Free will is our gift from Him and chosing to praise Him is how we honor that gift.
