Spiritual Guide Staples-Conner

I originally became an ordained minister online because it was difficult to find someone willing to marry my wife and me. That experience opened my eyes to how many same-sex couples faced the same barriers, so I chose to become ordained in order to legally and proudly marry my same-sex friends. It was my way of affirming love, equality, and the right for everyone to have their commitment honored and celebrated.

With my online ordination, I hope to create safe, affirming spaces where love, identity, and spirituality are fully honored. I want to support couples and individuals—especially those who have felt excluded or marginalized—by offering ceremonies, guidance, and counseling rooted in respect, compassion, and authenticity. Ultimately, my goal is to help people feel seen, validated, and spiritually supported as they mark meaningful moments and navigate life’s transitions.
