Become a minister. It's free, and it takes about twenty minutes.

Lumen Church ordains ministers of the Light — people who want to officiate weddings, bless, pray, counsel, and serve their communities. Read our principles, the Minister's Guide, and the Code of Conduct; agree to the terms; and you're ordained, with a numbered certificate anyone can verify.

    Serve

    Officiate, bless, counsel. Your credential is verifiable at thelumenchurch.com/verify for any clerk, venue, or couple who asks.

What you can do

  • Officiate weddings and vow renewals (Florida recognizes ordained ministers; check the law where you are).
  • Lead blessings, memorials, and prayers for healing.
  • Offer spiritual counsel and chaplaincy.
  • Use the title Minister, Lumen Church, with your credential number.

Want to lead Lumen services?

Ordained ministers who want to lead our congregation, run a campus, or represent the church apply for a Lumen Ministerial License — a short course, an interview, and a background check. You can apply from your dashboard after ordination.
