I originally became ordained because I felt a deep calling to serve others and to provide spiritual guidance during some of life’s most meaningful moments. For me, ordination was a way to formalize my commitment to helping people connect with their faith, find comfort in times of difficulty, and celebrate life’s milestones with a sense of reverence and purpose. It wasn’t simply about holding a title—it was about stepping into a role of responsibility, compassion, and service.

Over time, I’ve found that being ordained has given me the opportunity to walk alongside people in their journeys, whether that’s through weddings, funerals, or pastoral care, and that’s something I continue to value deeply.
