Penny Ohm
Ordained Minister in West Fargo, North Dakota
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My niece asked me to get ordained to officiate her wedding.
Where are you from?
I’m from North Dakota, but was raised in multiple places due to being an “Army brat”. Ft. Ord, California was home for the vast majority of my upbringing, but North Dakota has been considered home since 1990.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I’ve been officiating weddings since 2014. I would like to expand into funerals and baptisms, as well as jail chaplain ministry down the road. Overall, though, I want to meet people where they’re at and share in strengthening their understanding and beliefs, as well as my own.
Religious Affiliations
Universal Life Church
Additional Information
I grew up between split religions: Catholic and Lutheran. As an adult I’ve attended other churches. I no longer affiliate myself with any particular church or religion, but I do believe in God and I respect the beliefs of others.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a West Fargo, ND wedding officiant?
I work with those getting married to personalize their vows if they choose.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
I’m in the Fargo-Moorhead area. I’ve Officiated at venues, houses, barns, apartments, in a field and at a graveyard.
