Minister J. Primous

I became an ordained minister online to expand my ability to serve and uplift others. As an educator, nonprofit leader, and advocate for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals and other disenfranchised communities, I’ve always been driven to create meaningful connections. The accessibility of online ordination allowed me to step fully into this role, helping others through life’s challenges and celebrations. This path reflects my commitment to guiding with love, purpose, and positivity.

I was born and raised in Northern California, but my journey brought me to Atlanta, Georgia, where I attended college and have lived in the metro area for over 20 years. Atlanta has become my home base for pursuing my passion as an educator, nonprofit leader, and advocate. My work has taken me across the United States and its territories, allowing me to connect with diverse communities and further my mission to uplift and inspire others through service and ministry.

With my online ordination, I hope to deepen my impact as a civic leader, educator, and advocate. My goal is to provide spiritual guidance and support to individuals and communities, especially those often overlooked or underserved. Whether officiating ceremonies, offering counsel, or leading initiatives, I aim to inspire hope, foster connection, and empower others to embrace their purpose. This ordination is a meaningful step in expanding my mission to serve with compassion and inclusivity.

My religious affiliations are diverse, reflecting my belief in the interconnectedness of all spiritual paths. I am rooted in Baptist and Christian traditions, yet I also embrace aspects of New Age spirituality and Spiritualism. I believe in the power of personal growth, healing, and the universal truths that exist across various faiths. This eclectic approach allows me to connect with individuals from different backgrounds, honoring their unique spiritual journeys while providing a space for growth, understanding, and empowerment.

What makes my ceremonies special is my ability to create a deeply personal and inclusive experience for each couple. As an advocate for diverse and disenfranchised communities, I ensure every ceremony reflects the unique love story, values, and traditions of those I serve. I bring warmth, authenticity, and a genuine commitment to celebrating love in all its forms. My goal is to make each couple feel seen, honored, and supported as they begin this beautiful new chapter together.

I am open to traveling anywhere within my area and beyond, with a willingness to serve and connect wherever I am needed. I have a passport and am fully able to travel internationally with appropriate notice. Whether it’s within my local community or further afield, I am committed to providing meaningful support and services wherever my mission and ministry take me.

In addition to officiating weddings, I provide a variety of meaningful services as a minister. With over 20 years of experience as a certified American Sign Language interpreter, I offer inclusive ceremonies that ensure Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals feel fully engaged and celebrated.

I also honor cultural heritage through African American Spiritual Tradition Ceremonies, including rites of passage, foot washings, and ancestral honors. Each ceremony is tailored to reflect the values and traditions of those I serve, creating an experience that is both personal and profound. My goal is to provide spaces of connection, healing, and celebration for all.
