Robert D. Alexander-Jordan
Ordained Minister in Detroit, Michigan
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became ordained during the pandemic to support people during meaningful moments in their lives and to offer an inclusive, welcoming approach to ministry. I wanted to help couples celebrate their commitment through ceremonies that honor their identities, beliefs, and individual love stories.
Where are you from?
I am from Detroit, Michigan, where my commitment to education, community service, and helping others continues to shape my work and ministry.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
I hope to make meaningful, personalized ceremonies accessible to couples who want their commitment celebrated with dignity, warmth, and respect. My goal is to create a welcoming experience where couples feel heard, supported, and comfortable bringing their full selves to the occasion.

Additional Information
I am ordained through the Universal Life Church. My approach to ministry respects diverse beliefs and welcomes couples of all faiths, interfaith backgrounds, and those who prefer a secular ceremony.
What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Detroit, MI wedding officiant?
My ceremonies begin with listening. I take time to understand each couple’s story, values, and vision, then help shape a ceremony that feels natural and personal. Couples can incorporate their own vows, cultural traditions, spiritual elements, or secular language. My approach combines thoughtful preparation, clear communication, and a calm, supportive presence.
Are there particular areas near you where you prefer to travel or have special experience?
Based in Detroit and serving the surrounding metropolitan area. Travel beyond Metro Detroit, including destination ceremonies, is considered by arrangement when travel and lodging expenses are covered and applicable officiant requirements can be met.
