Abel Montgomery- Abel's Life Cycle Ceremonies
Ordained Minister in Holton, Kansas
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I wanted to be ordained to be able to legally do weddings and funerals. I started this business (Abel's Life Cycle Ceremonies) to provide a non-christian celebrant option to NE Kansas. With a thriving pagan community, my area was crying out for someone who would become certified and be able to give a professional, tailored experience to their most special moments. Abel's Life Cycle Ceremonies provides "A Ceremony for every Threshold."
Where are you from?
I live in rural Jackson county, and have always enjoyed the rolling fields and beautiful wildlife I'm surrounded by.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to be able to give individuals sacred ceremonies specifically tailored to their faith and traditions.
