Rev Joshua Homer Keith
Ordained Minister in Whitley city, Kentucky
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
“My calling as a minister is rooted in my life experiences, love of Christ , and a desire to walk with people through life’s sacred transitions — with care, compassion, and grace.”
Where are you from?
I am based in Whitley City, Kentucky — a small, faith-filled town in McCreary County, near the beautiful Appalachian foothills. It's where I first heard God's call to ministry, and it continues to ground me in humility, service, and love. But my work doesn’t stop here. I proudly serve all 50 U.S. states and am available to travel to any country worldwide. Whether you're in a small town, a big city, a remote village, or a quiet countryside — if you're seeking a meaningful, faith-centered ceremony, I will come to you. No distance is too far when it comes to sharing God’s love.

“I come from a [Christian,Catholic background ], but I honor the many paths people take to find meaning. Whether you’re rooted in a particular faith, spiritual but not religious, or simply looking for a deeply personal ceremony, I meet you where you are.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Whitley city, KY wedding officiant?
My Understanding of People’s Needs, My life experiences. My Spiritual or Philosophical Grounding, My Life Experience. My Presence and Energy. Inclusivity and Openness. "What makes my ceremonies different as a minister is my deep understanding of how sacred transitions are — whether it's a union, a farewell, or a new beginning. I don't just perform a ritual; I co-create a space of meaning, tailored to the hearts and hopes of the people involved."
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I am from Whitley City Kentucky — a small town with deep roots and strong faith. I’ve always believed in meeting people where they are, both spiritually and literally. That’s why I don’t stay in one place — I travel anywhere I’m called. Whether it’s a church, a riverbank, a backyard, or a quiet mountainside, I believe God’s presence can be felt everywhere. One of the greatest joys in my ministry is performing baptisms. There’s something powerful about witnessing someone publicly declare their faith, especially in the living waters of nature or among family and friends. I approach every baptism with prayerful preparation and heartfelt reverence, whether it's for a child, teen, or adult. I’m available to travel anyplace and all places — no distance is too far when the calling is real. My goal is always to serve with love, humility, and the spirit of Christ, creating ceremonies that reflect both the sacredness of the moment and the individuality of the people involved.
