Why I Originally Became an Ordained Minister Online and Why It’s Important to Me

I took the step to become an ordained minister online because I wanted to bring something personal and meaningful to the lives of people I care about. Whether it’s officiating a wedding, leading a memorial, or offering spiritual guidance, being an ordained minister allows me to support others during some of their most significant life moments.

What’s truly important to me is the ability to connect with people in an authentic way. Becoming ordained online gave me the flexibility to honor individual beliefs and create ceremonies that are unique and inclusive. It’s not about being bound by tradition; it’s about making these moments truly special and reflective of the individuals involved.

This role is a privilege, and every time I’m called upon to step into it, I’m reminded of the trust placed in me. That trust is what makes this so important and fulfilling.

My hometown is Fort Wayne, Indiana I grew up here my whole life and now I'm raising my family here. We have enjoyed having our children here and they now are grown and on their own with their own families.

What I Hope to Achieve with My Online Ordination as a Pastor

When I decided to become ordained online, it wasn’t just about obtaining a title—it was about creating opportunities to make a difference. I hope to use my ordination to bring people together, celebrate love, offer comfort, and provide a space for meaningful connections.

Whether officiating weddings, leading memorial services, or simply being a source of guidance, my goal is to honor the unique beliefs and values of each person I serve. It’s about creating moments that reflect who they are and what they hold dear.

To me, being a pastor isn’t about preaching or conforming to rigid traditions—it’s about being present, compassionate, and authentic. I want to offer support and kindness in a way that uplifts others and brings a sense of peace and unity to the experiences I’m privileged to be a part of.

This journey is one of purpose, and I’m excited to see where it leads.

My journey as a minister is rooted in openness and inclusivity. While I have my own spiritual beliefs, my approach to ministry is not confined by a single religious tradition. I embrace the beauty in diverse faiths, values, and practices, and I’m committed to honoring the beliefs of those I serve.

For me, it’s about connection—creating space for people to feel seen, respected, and uplifted, no matter their background or spiritual path. Whether you’re deeply rooted in a faith tradition, spiritual but not religious, or somewhere in between, I’m here to support and celebrate you.

Being a minister is about fostering love, understanding, and meaningful connections. It’s a role I take with humility and joy, knowing that every individual’s journey is unique and worth honoring.

What Makes My Ceremonies Special as a Wedding Officiant

As a wedding officiant, my goal is to create ceremonies that are as unique and meaningful as the love stories they celebrate. What makes my ceremonies special is the time and care I put into understanding each couple’s journey, values, and vision for their big day.

I believe a wedding ceremony should reflect who you are—your personalities, your love, and the life you’re building together. Whether it’s incorporating personal vows, cultural traditions, or simply adding a touch of humor, every detail is crafted to make your ceremony truly yours.

It’s not just about the words; it’s about the experience. I aim to create an atmosphere that’s warm, heartfelt, and unforgettable—not just for the couple but for everyone witnessing the union.

For me, being an officiant is an honor, and I’m here to ensure your special moment feels perfect, meaningful, and full of love.

Fort Wayne, 30 minutes around.

Being a minister is about more than officiating ceremonies; it’s about being there for life’s most meaningful moments. Alongside weddings, I also offer services such as vow renewals, baby blessings, memorials, and other personalized ceremonies to mark milestones in your journey.

My goal is to create experiences that feel authentic, inclusive, and deeply personal. I’m here to listen to your needs, honor your beliefs, and bring your vision to life—whether that means a traditional ceremony, a casual celebration, or something entirely unique.

What truly matters to me is making sure every service I provide reflects the heart of those involved. It’s not just about the event; it’s about the emotions, the connections, and the memories we create together.

If you’re looking for someone to guide you through a special moment in your life, I’d be honored to be a part of your journey.
