Kendra Crows Belgrad
Ordained Minister in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
I became ordained as a natural progression in my spiritual journey and in my desire to serve others through spiritual guidance, reflection, and connection. My path has taught me to listen beyond the noise of modern life, recognize the wisdom in nature and lived experience, and honor the deeper threads that connect us. I use my intuition, spiritual practice, and years of experience to help others find perspective, clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves.
Where are you from?
I grew up in Southern Oregon, but have traveled enough to experience many parts of the country. Pennsylvania eventually became home. A place deeply connected to my family’s history, where some of my ancestors first arrived as indentured servants from several parts of Europe.
Pennsylvania’s history of religious freedom also speaks to me. William Penn helped establish the principle that people should be free to practice their faith and live according to their conscience. In my own way, I carry that spirit forward by honoring the freedom to explore spirituality, question what we are taught, and find our own connection to what is sacred.
This is where I am from, and in many ways, it is where my journey has come into its own.
What do you hope to achieve with your online ordination?
My quest in life has always been to be a healing presence: connecting with people seeking guidance, perspective, and a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. I hope to offer a space (online or off) where people can explore their spiritual paths with honesty, integrity, and an open mind.

Additional Information
I was fortunate to grow up in a family that never taught me that one religion or belief system should limit who I was meant to become. When I was 11, I became a walker of the woods: a Witch who cared for animals, listened to nature, and was often known to be one of them.
I have been baptized twice in the Christian faith, trained as a Reiki Master Teacher, a Child of Zen, a student of Spiritualism, and a healer to all living beings who know to ask. Each path has taught me something, but none has defined me as a whole.
I am a child of the Universe, and I am ready when I am asked.
My faith is simple: we are all made of the same energy, connected to something greater than ourselves. Though we spend our lives learning how to be individuals, we are never truly separate. We remain part of one another, part of nature, and part of the greater circle of life.
I do not seek to tell others what to believe. I seek to help them listen: to themselves, to the world around them, and to whatever greater connection they may find along the way.

What do you think makes your ceremonies special as a Gettysburg, PA wedding officiant?
There is a reason why I do not take every ceremony off the wagon. It is because love is more than lust at first sight: it is like a good chili. When love is in the air and two cooks know they are working together, blending and marinating, they intrinsically know how the magic is coming together. But if you are forcing something that doesn't have a recipe and one cook isn't helping but throws it together, good luck! It's not going to flavor the marriage well.

Additional Information
What I want people to know about my ministry is that I am here to help people look beyond themselves—to step back from their thoughts, fears, and desires long enough to see the bigger picture. My hope is to help people become more present in their own lives and in the lives of those around them, so they can move through pain and suffering without becoming defined by them.
Life is not meant to be lived trapped in what hurts us. There is still love to experience, connection to be made, and a life to be lived. My ministry is about offering perspective, compassion, and a place to pause, reflect, and find a way forward.
