Grayson Patrick Schultz
Ordained Minister in Athens, Ohio
About Me:
Are you looking for a queer or trans-friendly minister? Look no further!
In 2010, I graduated from Carroll University in Wisconsin with my Bachelor of Arts degree in religious studies. My focus was on learning as much about the religions of the world as possible, and I'm happy to use that knowledge to cater to your needs regardless of your religious background.
I was originally ordained in 2012. Since then, I have performed two wedding ceremonies. Additionally, my work as a sex educator & coach has allowed me to work with hundreds of people on their personal identities, relationships, spirituality, and how they relate to the world. In 2016, I came out as both queer and transgender and began to undergo medical transition.
After recently changing my name and moving to Ohio, I have become re-ordained so that I can help others - and especially my LGBTQIA2S+ siblings - access an affirming and validating officiant for weddings, funerals, and more.
My day job is working in diversity, equity, accessibility, and education. I work hard to help companies and individuals understand the realities of our world - and the ways that we can improve both it and ourselves. I've worked with healthcare systems, pharma companies, governmental agencies, nonprofits, and more on this work. I also enjoy speaking at conferences, hopping on podcasts and panels, or having one-on-one conversations.
My fees vary, depending on travel time & radius, time potentially needed away from my day job, etc. That said, they are also fairly negotiable, so please don't fret if I'm out of a price range that works with your budget! I'm always happy to work with folks, especially in these trying economic times.
