William Matthew
Ordained Minister in Indianapolis, Indiana
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I feel a deep calling to serve as a bridge between the ancient wisdom of the ancestors and the modern seeker. I am continuing a long-standing family lineage of spiritual service, but through a path that focuses on the internal connection to the Divine rather than rigid, literal dogma. I am here to help others realize that the Spirit is as accessible as the breath in their lungs.
Where are you from?
I am based in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am a descendant of the Garr/Gaar family, who were among the pioneers of the Germanna Colonies and founders of the Hebron Lutheran Church in Virginia—one of the oldest and longest-running congregations in American history.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My goal is to establish a ministry of truth that utilizes modern technology to reach those who feel disconnected from traditional religious structures. I aim to guide people in finding their own 'inner mirror' and understanding that the Bible is a powerful metaphorical map for personal growth and spiritual illumination. I intend to offer guidance, grounding, and a sacred space for others to find God and themselves."
