Welcome to the Universal Life Church Seminary Home Page. We are always growing and changing here at the ULC Seminary and are in the process of adding many new features and services. Please spend some time looking through the site and you'll find more information about the Online Seminary courses, as well as samples of the classes and how to enroll in the seminary for free. We will be adding features on a regular basis, so please keep checking back to see what's new.
We are the Official site of the Universal Life Church Seminary and simply, the largest and most informative ULC site on the web. We're glad you're here.
Please, if you would add amy@ulcseminary.org to your address book. We've been having trouble with our newsletters getting rejected, especially by yahoo and this would help us tremendously. THANKS!
One of our most unique Features is called the RSS Feed. It's a great way for you to keep in constant touch with what's new at the Seminary. By using any of these buttons: you can personalize your Yahoo, AOL, MSN or Google page to give you a daily, self-updating feed of information from the Seminary. For more information on how to do that, go to the RSS Feed page or click the appropriate button.
BECOME AN ORDAINED MINISTER - From this Universal Life Church (ULC) Seminary site, you can
be ordained for free, online in just minutes through the Universal Life Church.
This lifetime service is free and legal. We welcome all faiths, from Christians and Buddhists, to Wiccans and other Pagans.You only need to click on the link
to have your ordination information sent to headquarters, where it will be legally recorded by hand. When you
do ordain yourself, you will receive a pop-up credential that will serve as a receipt
for your ordination. Print this and save it for your records. You will also receive an email welcoming you to the church. It's important that you save this for your records. Once ordained, you can legally perform weddings in the United States. We're working on extending this right to other areas on the globe as well.
As a ULC (Universal Life Church) minister, you can legally officiate
at anyone's wedding ceremony and/or you can make weddings, funerals,
baptisms, house blessings, etc. your business. You can even start
your own ministry and share your beliefs with others. The Universal
Life Church is interfaith and non-denominational. We have many ministers who are performing ministries for the poor, the sick and the incarcerated. Some work to protect children from harm or spend time doing good works. We believe in doing that which is right and it is a pleasure to see the wide variety of ways that this motto is expressed.
Please also check out our new book that is all about ULC Ministers.

minister through the Universal Life Church or any other church, but feel as though you would
like more ministerial training on spiritual or religious matters OR you would
