Ordained Minister in Sicklerville, New Jersey
Why did you originally become an ordained minister online?
Becoming an ordained minister was a decision rooted deeply in my love for community, faith, and growth. I've always had a strong desire to support and uplift those around me, and I saw this path as a way to extend that support on a spiritual level. Faith has been a cornerstone in my life, guiding me through challenges and helping me grow into the person I am today. I wanted to share that sense of hope and resilience with others, fostering a community where everyone feels valued and inspired.

My goal is to offer accessible and meaningful spiritual guidance that transcends geographical boundaries, reaching people wherever they are. By leveraging the flexibility and reach of online platforms, I aspire to build a supportive and inclusive community where individuals can find hope, inspiration, and personal growth.
