Ordained Minister in Corning, New York
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I originally became a Minister to provide couples who may not financially be able to have the lavished dream wedding still very memorable service. As time went on I found myself being asked to provide a memorial services. I was very nervous, I was honored that they requested me on just an occasion. There was fear of not honoring the deceased as they or the family would have wished. I have found that my clients were extremely happy with the services and feel that it’s important to be able to proved family/friends with a sense of peace. As much as I do enjoy performing weddings I find more fulfillment out of proving comfort to those who lost someone dear to them. Being able to minister no matter the service as brought be great pride and has helped me evolve personally.

Everyone comes from a different walk of life but in the end we are still equal. Let’s see one another not for our socioeconomic value but for who we are as individuals.
