How to Become an Ordained Minister in Trinity

An ordained minister can perform wedding ceremonies.

Becoming an ordained minister of Trinity requires an interest in social harmony, rather than a religious background. The Trinity Evangelical Christian University and the Universal Life Monastery offer ordinations to everyone. The organizations believe that all people have the right to practice religion, regardless of their beliefs.The cost for ordination credentials can be free or as high as $200 as of 2010, but the exact price depends on your specialization. Registration is required of new ordained ministers in all of the United States. Getting ordained can help you grow in faith and to lead others in fellowship.

Instructions

1. 

   Lead children in Sunday school.

   Determine your area of speciality in ministry. A few areas of speciality include performing baptisms and wedding ceremonies, leading children in Sunday school, or just simply to outreach about the Holy Trinity.

2. Research the Universal Life Monastery and The Trinity Evangelical Christan University websites. Both companies are non-denominational organizations, offering different types of ordinations. Some credentials are based on life experience.

3. Apply online. You will need to register with The Trinity Evangelical Christian University or the Universal Life Monastery and provide basic information, such as your name and county.

4. 

   Show your certificate

   Order an ordination certificate. When you begin working in your area of specialty, you may be asked to show a credentialed certificate, so be prepared. Once you register to be ordained, you can purchase a certificate on the same day. Certificates take a few days to a few weeks to arrive.

Tips & Warnings

• Get a picture or document frame for your certificate.
