Welcome to the Ministerial training center, where we aim to educate new ministers
in the basics of being a Universal Life Church minister. We are trying to provide training that applies to most religions. The basics about weddings and funerals applies to the majority of people. We have also included the section of ceremonies from our ministers as well as a variety of poetry, which you can read for your own enjoyment or perhaps to use as a reading during a wedding, funeral or other events.
We do our best to keep this material updated and
current. If there is any other material you'd like to see here, let us know so we can get it up there. Write to amy@ulcseminary.org with your ideas and suggestions.
TRAINING DISCOURSES:
The
Marriage Ceremony: In here, I'd like to talk with you about
being a wedding minister. How do you set yourself up? What do you do at
a consultation? What do you wear? What happens during the processional?
The
Funeral: Many ministers are intimidated when it comes to
funerals. This article will help take out the mystery and let your confidence
shine through. You'll learn a lot about funerals and how to conduct them in a professional manner.
Wiccan
Training Pages: This section has a number of different
articles written about Wicca. If you've ever been curious about it or
it strikes a chord in you and you want to learn more, this is the place
to look. Compliments of Lord Starwalker.
Starting Your Own Church: If you are interested in starting your own church, please review these pages and feel free to use the samples to help you in your own quest to start a new church. There are samples of different things you need to file with the state or IRS.
Coping with Transition Anxiety: If you are asked to help someone make a transition from living independently, to moving to assisted care living, then this article may help address some concerns that will arise. This material can easily overlap into other areas where the information still applies.
10 Commandments: This is a short discourse about the varieties of the 10 commandments that have been debated between the various religions for centuries. It's interesting to understand the differences in the various 10 commandments and it's good for our ministers to have a firm grasp of the different religions.
Being A Minister: This is an insteresting talk about what it means to be a ULC Minister. It's a great way to look at how we deal with other people, what we can do for our communities and how we can best serve ourselves and the other people we come across.

When you worry, there is static coming through your mind radio. God's song is the song of calmness. Nervousness is the static; calmness is the voice of God speaking to you through the radio of your soul. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda
"I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results." - Michael Jordan
