I went through everything I needed to go through to get ordained. But I didn't have the money to pay for the paperwork that they were offering. Does that mean that I am still ordained or does it mean that I am not. You guys said that I was ordained. But I don't know what's going on can you guys please get back to me and let me know what's going on I would appreciate it thank you very much. I will have the money to buy the package on the 1st of March. But until then I have no money.

I ordered my “certificate”. I have sent numerous messages to support desk explaining my order did NOT arrive, although the tracking said delivered. I even notified USPS that there was NO delivery as stated. The ONLY response they sent me was “see tracking information”. Asked for rep to call me and was refused. Last email they told me NOT to reply to email. Poor customer service and I am out $20. Not even an option to send me my certificate in PDF.

Craig, We contacted you multiple times via our ticket system. USPS marked your package as delivered. We asked you to contact your local post office with your tracking information and file a claim for non-delivery. Our phone rep. called the number you provided multiple times and was unable to reach you nor leave a voicemail. Please contact us via our support department for follow-up.

I performed my niece's wedding this past weekend, thanks to my Open Ministry ordination. Preparing and presiding over the ceremony brought me closer to both the bride and groom and to family and friends. After the ceremony, I was surprised when a number of people asked me if I would perform their wedding. While many people will prefer to be married by a clergy member from their congregation, Open Ministry provides a way for the bride and groom to be married by a family member or friend who has known them perhaps their whole life and has special connections with the couple and wedding guests. Thanks Open Ministry for making this possible!

Hello! I have been an ordained minister with Open Ministry since 2017. I am thankful for their unique services. Also, thankful that my credentials are accepted in Pennsylvania. I strive to serve the Lord daily and inspire people to walk with God. I wanted to take a professional leap by obtaining my credentials to officiate weddings, provide pre-marital counseling, and perform baptisms.
