Garrett Oliver

Two close friends of mine asked if I could officiate their future wedding. I had heard about the Universal Life Church and decided to look into it. I was unsure whether or not I could ordain certain religious ceremonies or join the Church being Jewish, but the Universal Life Church transcends religious boundaries.

Originally, I am from the small town of Pelion, South Carolina. Currently, I reside in Clinton, South Carolina for school.

Eventually, I want to ordain the wedding of two close friends and possibly any more that need a minister. I also want to help people through my ministry.

Coming from the Reformed sect of Judaism, I have a very relaxed demeanor and open mind about many things others might deem "wrong".

I am not your typical minister. I am a gay Jewish man, so I go against a few norms. I believe my experiences with my sexuality and faith will make me a better minister and wedding officiant.

I would prefer to remain in South Carolina for simplicity's sake. I would also prefer the upstate or midlands.

I would be honored to officiate same-sex marriages, seeing as I am homosexual myself.
