Jason
Ordained Minister in Washougal, Washington
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
My journey into ministry began with a master's degree in Religious Thought and Life. While my path eventually led me outside traditional church walls, my mission remained clear: to make ministry accessible, loving, and deeply inclusive. Having lived in the South and Midwest, I noticed a painful gap—many couples and families struggled to find an ordained minister who welcomed them as they were. I promised myself I would always be a safe, celebratory space for everyone. I believe no one should ever be denied a sacred, beautiful expression of life's milestones. I want to warmly welcome all couples/families always and am honored to accommodate unique traditions and wishes.
Where are you from?
Grew up in Tennessee, lived throughout the South and Midwest, currently living in Washington state.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My goal is to bridge the gap between formal theological education and real-world inclusivity. I want to use my background to serve people directly, outside the boundaries of a traditional church setting. Having lived in the South and the Midwest, I saw firsthand how painful and difficult it can be for couples and families to find an ordained minister who genuinely accepts them for who they are. I chose online ordination to bypass institutional barriers so that I could fulfill a personal promise: to never deny anyone the right and privilege of a sacred, meaningful expression of life’s most important milestones. Ultimately, I hope to achieve a ministry of total accessibility. Whether I am officiating a wedding, a baptism, a funeral, a house blessing, or some other sacred event, my goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and deeply respectful space where people of all backgrounds can have their unique spiritual and emotional needs honored without judgment.
