William Christopher Hodge
Ordained Minister in Elyria, Ohio
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My name is William and I am someone who values personal growth, connection, and purpose. I often find myself drawn to roles where I can support others, offer guidance, and create a positive environment. These qualities have shaped not only how I interact with people, but also the choices I make in my life. One example of this is becoming an ordained minister online — a decision rooted in my desire to understand myself more deeply and to connect with others on a meaningful level. Throughout my life, I have been motivated by curiosity and a willingness to explore new paths. I enjoy learning, trying new experiences, and developing skills that help me better understand the world. I believe that growth comes from stepping outside of one’s comfort zone, and I try to live by that idea. Whether I am learning something new, supporting someone who needs encouragement, or challenging myself in a new direction, I aim to approach life with honesty, compassion, and openness. I value relationships and the sense of community that comes from being present for others. People often describe me as thoughtful and grounded, someone who brings calm during stressful moments. I try to listen more than I speak, and I hold myself to a standard of treating others with kindness and respect. As I continue to grow, I am working toward becoming a person who inspires trust, brings clarity to difficult situations, and makes a positive impact in the spaces I enter. My journey is ongoing, but it is driven by the same things that have shaped me so far: curiosity, compassion, and a desire to help others feel seen and supported.
