Doy mis felicitaciones a Open Ministry quienes dan el respaldo a quienes nos dedicamos al ministerio. El año 2020 realmente fue un año que disfrute al máximo en mi labor ministerial. Pido disculpas porque no he tenido contacto como debería tener con Open Ministry. Doy las gracias porque llegó mi título honorario a Chile sin ningún problema, se demoro un poco por el contexto sanitario actual, algo entendible que escapa de las manos de Open Ministry. Tengo la certeza que todos tuvimos un año 2020 muy ocupado, este 2021 tengo mucho trabajo en el ministerio, algo que será de bendición para muchas personas. Que el Creador bendiga a todos mis hermanos de Open Ministry y ministros alrededor del mundo.
(I congratulate Open Ministry who support those of us who dedicate ourselves to ministry. The year 2020 was truly a year that I enjoyed to the fullest in my ministerial work. I apologize that I have not had contact as I should have with Open Ministry. I am grateful because my honorary title arrived in Chile without any problem, it was delayed a bit due to the current health context, something understandable that escapes the hands of Open Ministry. I am certain that we all had a very busy 2020, this 2021 I have a lot of work in the ministry, something that will be a blessing for many people. May the Creator bless all my Open Ministry brothers and ministers around the world.)

We are following up on your inquiry. We want you to have the information you need to help in your ministerial endeavors. We recommend ministers hold current church ordination documentation as a record of clergy status for registration and display. Open Ministry is a church registered with the State of California; with the purpose to guide and support the church in its mission, outreach, and community services. Our Ministry has the right and privilege to ordain ministers. Our ministers have the same powers and rights as ordained clergy for religious ceremonies, weddings, and other sacerdotal rites.
Marriage laws vary per state and county, it is important to be familiarized and know the ministerial requirements set forth by your state and local government. States can require official documentation to register with the County Clerk or Agency that records marriages in the County you want to perform ceremonies. Contact the county clerk or agency that will be issuing the couple’s marriage license for information, see our Marriage Laws for details at: https://www.oministry.com/ordained-marriage-laws.

Open Ministry is amazing. I'm earning a Masters of Arts in Chaplaincy and this will help me fulfill my work as a devout follower of Christ The Lord!
My credential of ministry arrived immediately after ordering and I will be sure to invest in all credentials offered at Open Ministry that professionally support my mission to be of help to my neighbors.
In Him..

I didn’t receive the right package in my order and when I got a call back the person was rude and wasn’t helpful. I’ve been a member since 2014 and could believe how rudely I was treated and still got the wrong package!
I’m very disappointed hurt.
-----Open Ministry Response-----
Barbara, We are sorry to hear that the customer service rep on your phone call was rude. We see that you originally requested two different packages. The one you did not want (the ordination package) was removed per your request and your order and that your account was compensated on 09/29/2020 at 09:27 AM for the unwanted items.
If you could follow up with your support ticket we can look into the matter for you further.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to be ordained. My first wedding will be 09/17/2020. I will be officiating my daughter's wedding. I am so excited to do this.
