Donald Beach
Ordained Minister in Belchertown, Massachusetts
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I went to a Bible College for nearly three years to become a minister but it was not a college that accepted the LGBTQ+ so I dropped out. I have always felt a calling to the ministry. It is my belief we are all ministers of some sort and our ministry is to help others in what ever way we are capable of from mentally and physically to spititually. So when I saw this opportunity to have my ministry legitimized in a way, I knew I had to.
Where are you from?
I was born and raised in a small village (and yes it is called a village not a town, even) in Central Illinois, but now reside in Massachusetts with my husband.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to provide the type of ministry that gives and uplifts not only those of beliefs that are generally more received, but also those of beliefs that are not as so regularly welcomed or celebrated.
Religious Affiliations
None
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Belchertown, MA wedding officiant?
