To Officiate a Wedding for a Loved One One of the most popular reasons is wanting to officiate a friend or family member’s wedding. Online ordination makes it easy and accessible, especially when couples want someone close to them to lead the ceremony.

To Embrace a Personal Calling Some feel a spiritual or philosophical calling and want to formalize that role. Online ordination can be a first step toward deeper ministry work, community service, or personal growth.

To Advocate or Serve in a Unique Way Others seek ordination to support causes they care about—whether it’s prison ministry, interfaith dialogue, or simply offering comfort and guidance in their community.

For Creative or Symbolic Purposes Believe it or not, some people get ordained as part of performance art, satire, or to make a statement about religious access and inclusivity.

My Roots in Griffin, Georgia

I was born in Griffin, Georgia on June 5, 1991—a small town just 45 minutes south of Atlanta. Growing up in a close-knit community like Griffin shaped the way I see the world and the people in it. Though Atlanta was just down the road, Griffin offered a slower, more peaceful pace of life that I came to cherish.

In Griffin, I learned the true meaning of community, hard work, and perseverance. The strong support system around me helped shape my character and instilled in me a deep sense of belonging and a responsibility to give back. Life in a small town taught me to appreciate the little things and find joy in everyday moments.

As I reflect on my upbringing, I’m filled with gratitude for the lessons learned and the memories made in that humble town. Griffin will always hold a special place in my heart—it’s the foundation of my identity and the values I carry with me today.

Why I Chose Online Ordination

Becoming ordained online wasn’t just a formality—it was a step toward serving others with compassion, integrity, and purpose. My goal is to create meaningful moments for people, whether that’s officiating weddings, offering spiritual guidance, or simply being a trusted presence during life’s most important transitions.

I believe that ministry isn’t confined to a pulpit or a building—it lives in everyday conversations, in acts of kindness, and in the ability to meet people where they are. Online ordination gave me the flexibility to do just that: to be accessible, inclusive, and ready to serve in ways that reflect both tradition and modern connection.

Ultimately, I hope to use this role to uplift others, foster unity, and bring a sense of peace and purpose to those I encounter.

A Message of Love and Inclusion from a Christian Minister

As a Christian minister, I believe that every person deserves a chance at love. Love is not only a fundamental human need—it’s a divine gift and a cornerstone of many faith traditions, especially Christianity. Scripture teaches us that love is patient, kind, and selfless. It is a powerful force that binds communities, heals wounds, and brings light into the darkest places.

Regardless of someone’s background, beliefs, or life experiences, they deserve the opportunity to experience and share love. In my ministry, I strive to promote love and acceptance in every interaction. I work to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where individuals can explore their own capacity for connection, compassion, and spiritual growth.

I believe love is a reflection of God’s grace—meant to be shared freely, without condition or judgment. It transcends boundaries, bridges divides, and unites us as one human family.

This is my calling: to spread the message of love and acceptance to all who seek it, and to guide others toward a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the divine love that surrounds us all.

Here’s what sets my ceremonies apart:

Personalization with Purpose: I take time to understand each couple—their journey, their quirks, their dreams—and weave that into the ceremony. Whether it’s a shared love of hiking or a story about how they met at a coffee shop, those details matter.

Warmth and Presence: I bring a calm, grounded energy to the ceremony. My goal is to make everyone feel welcome, included, and emotionally connected to the moment—not just the couple, but the guests too.

Balance of Tradition and Creativity: Whether couples want a classic vow exchange or something totally unconventional, I help them find the right tone. From spiritual blessings to humorous anecdotes, I tailor the experience to fit their vibe.

Clarity and Flow: I make sure the ceremony runs smoothly, with clear transitions and a rhythm that keeps everyone engaged. No awkward pauses, no confusion—just a seamless celebration.

Support Beyond the Ceremony: I’m not just there for the big day. I offer guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear throughout the planning process. It’s about building trust and making sure the couple feels supported every step of the way.

Every ceremony I officiate is a chance to honor love in its most authentic form. That’s what makes it special.

Daytona Beach & Surrounding Areas: From oceanfront weddings to intimate backyard gatherings, I know the rhythm of this coastal town and love helping couples celebrate in its scenic beauty.

Here’s what I bring to the table as a minister:

Life Milestone Ceremonies: In addition to weddings, I officiate vow renewals, baby blessings, memorials, and other meaningful life events. Each one is crafted with care and tailored to the people involved.

Spiritual Guidance & Support: Whether someone is navigating a tough season or seeking clarity, I offer compassionate listening and thoughtful counsel rooted in respect and empathy—not judgment.

Community Engagement: I believe ministry is about showing up. That means volunteering, mentoring, and being a steady presence in the lives of those who need it most.

Inclusive Services: I welcome people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities. My goal is to create safe, affirming spaces where everyone feels seen and valued.

Custom Rituals & Reflections: For those seeking something unique—like a healing ceremony, a gratitude ritual, or a spiritual retreat—I help design experiences that speak to the soul.

Ministry, to me, is about connection. It’s about honoring life’s sacred moments and walking alongside people with humility and heart.
