Andre Rosedale EdD
Ordained Minister in Big Bend area, Florida
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I originally became ordained online in 2003 because I felt called to serve others in a more direct and meaningful way. My hope has been to find an independent church or ministry setting where I can help people through life’s important moments and difficult seasons. I believe ministry is about compassion, presence, and service, and I wanted to be in a position to support others with dignity, respect, and care.
Where are you from?
I am originally from upstate New York. Over the years, I have traveled throughout the United States as well as parts of Central and South America. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for people from different walks of life and have strengthened my desire to serve others with understanding and empathy.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to use my ordination to help others during both joyful and challenging times in life. With eight years of experience serving as a Connecticut Justice of the Peace, I have been honored to assist with marriages and meaningful life ceremonies. I have also been attuned in Reiki Levels 1 and 2, which has further strengthened my desire to support others with compassion, healing presence, and care. I hope to be a source of support for people in crisis or times of need, especially veterans, by offering encouragement, understanding, and steady guidance when it matters most.
