Ordained Minister in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I originally became ordained through the Universal Life Church many years ago because I believe meaningful life events should be personal, sincere, and centered on the people involved. I wanted the ability to support friends, family, and community members during important moments in their lives, including weddings, memorials, and other ceremonies.

Additional Information
I provide non-denominational and faith-sensitive ceremonies for weddings, vow renewals, memorials, funerals, and graveside services. I am comfortable working with couples and families who want a traditional, modern, simple, military/veteran-honoring, or personalized ceremony. I believe these moments should be handled with dignity, preparation, and respect.
For weddings, I verify the applicable state and local marriage-license requirements before performing the ceremony. For funerals and memorials, I provide ceremonial and pastoral support while the family, funeral home, cemetery, or crematory handles any required legal arrangements.
