Open Ministry - Get Ordained, Online Ordinations

I’m new to this calling, and want to make sure of the proper steps and documents needed to submit to my local city and county department. However, I could not access anything in the state of Arkansas. Please help. Thank you and I’m looking forward to this Godly endeavor for His glory.
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,

Can a Customer service representative please contact me back. I have left several messages to have my order canceled. I am very disappointed with this company. Thank you.

I've been an ordained minister with open ministry every since 2016 and I love it and may God bless you all for what y'all do at the open ministry in California
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.
I wanted to officiate my brother and cousin's wedding. I live in the NYC metro area and if it has been a nightmare trying to register as an officiant. The documents sent to me were insufficient. I know this because I tried every which way for FOUR times sending these documents in to become an officiant. Due to COVID, all documents need to be sent into the marriage bureau and they don't answer their phones to answer questions. So, I had to painstakingly send them via snail mail to be approved, but each time it was sent back.

I also tried reaching out to Open Ministry via email twice and they never answered back. I now realize that I was missing one piece of paper (the article of incorporation, a required documents for NYC officiant registration).

We responded to your inquires via our help support system on (11/25/20, 10:05 AM and again on 3/1/21, 9:06 AM and again today Monday, April 26, 2021 at 9:22 AM)

We have a very close relationship with the clerk in NYC, they even have copies of our letters on file! From your order history we see that you did not request the Letter of Good Standing for NYC which includes the required information for registering with the clerk. Perhaps that is what caused your issues in registering? We have thousands of ministers who apply and get approved each year in NY and NYC. Please reach out to our help and support desk at https://support.oministry.com if you have any further questions. We appreciate your feedback.

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.)
