Minister Edicott Ivy
Ordained Minister in Chicago, Illinois
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
my ministry is centered on encouragement, restoration, spiritual growth, and service to others. I believe ministry is not confined to a building, but is reflected through leadership, compassion, wisdom, outreach, and the ability to help people move from hardship into hope.
My mission is to inspire transformation by speaking life, faith, discipline, purpose, and healing into individuals, families, and communities. Through prayer, mentorship, guidance, and service, I strive to uplift others and remind them that no matter where they begin, growth, redemption, and renewal are always possible.

What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
What I hope to achieve through ministry is to help restore hope, purpose, faith, and direction in the lives of others. I want to create an atmosphere where people feel encouraged, supported, valued, and empowered to overcome adversity and grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and personally.
My goal is to serve as a source of wisdom, leadership, prayer, mentorship, and positive influence within the community. I hope to inspire transformation by helping individuals recognize their worth, strengthen their faith, and pursue a greater purpose for their lives.
I also seek to build a ministry that reaches beyond traditional walls — one that impacts families, communities, youth, and future generations through outreach, encouragement, teaching, and acts of service rooted in compassion and integrity.
