How to Become an Ordained Nondenominational Minister for Free

A computer and access to the Internet are all you need to become instantly ordained.

In this age of technology it is now possible to become an nondenominational ordained minister online not just simply at no cost, but instantly, as well. Universal Life Church and Universal Ministries have strong online presences and open their doors to every person of any background. While online ordination is legal, you must check with the laws of your state before performing marriages.
