Discover Who We Are
Welcome to the Universal Life Church Ministries, (or the ULC Ministries, for short)! Since our founding, we have ordained over 20 million ministers worldwide with our legal and free ordinations via the internet. We are best known as a religious organization that is non-profit and non-denominational, which accepts any person into our faith-based family regardless of religion or background.
The ULC Ministries sends letters of good standing and ordination credentials, along with other supplies for our members, while also fighting for the rights of our ministers and persecuted people around the world.
Thanks to our global ministers, the Universal Life Church Ministries has been able to join the fight for spiritual expression among all religions, as well as religious freedom and social justice throughout the world. Without the millions of spiritual leaders associated with the ULC Ministries, this venture would not have been possible.
History of the ULC Ministries
Spiritually descended from the original ULC that was established in the 1950s by Kirby Hensley, we have created a new image of the Universal Life Church by throwing out the old practices in favor of creating and operating a more virtuous organization focused on promoting universal understanding and inspiring spiritual freedom worldwide.

The ULC Ministries' Mission
Spiritually descended from the original ULC that was established in the 1950s by Kirby Hensley, we have created a new image of the Universal Life Church by throwing out the old practices in favor of creating and operating a more virtuous organization focused on promoting Catholic, Muslim, Pagan, Druid, Wiccan, Agnostic and Atheist. Through education and inspiration, they can use their beliefs to empower others through their spiritual truths. With open hearts and open minds, we embolden those who wish to enlighten others through spiritual and religious guidance.
Our Beliefs and Goals
Our beliefs, and our mission, were built out of the conviction that we are all children of the same universe. We believe in equality in all parts of spiritual leadership, which is why we refuse to expect or ask our congregants and ministers to bow down as supplicants before us, or each other.
We also believe that churches should follow a principal leadership system that promotes equality and balance. That is why our ministers should behave in accordance with our two core tenants that are as follows:
- 1. As long as the practice of their respective religions does not inhibit or otherwise intrude on others, and they follow the laws set forth by the government, individuals have the right to express their religion.
- Individuals are expected to do the right things and not harm themselves or others.
Our effort to provide ordination services to millions of people around the world is never-ending. In order to meet our minister’s needs, the ULC Ministries provides information, education, networking and a wide range of other services to help you grow. With these goals in mind, we believe in the importance of connection among our ministers spread around the world and serve as a meeting place where they can all join together. Note: the Universal Life Church Ministries has no affiliation with the “Universal Church Kingdom of God” or any other similarly-named groups.
Looking to the Future
The Universal Life Church Ministries’ mission of ordaining ministers around the world and empowering them with the tools necessary to lead and grow spiritually is an ongoing goal. We work tirelessly, alongside our ministers, to fight for those who wish to express and grow in their religious and spiritual life. c
We have no plans of stopping our support of various charities and organizations. The Universal Life Church Ministries will also continue to fight for those who are oppressed and those people whose rights are violated.
By ordaining ministers in all 50 United States, it is our hope to resist the biased and antiquated legal systems in order to fully support people who dream of following their faith or spiritual beliefs.
Prayer is the way forward. Our goals are straightforward yet ambitious, but we hope to have you join us on our journey forward. Contact us today if you have any questions or believe we should add something vital to our website in order to help you and others on the spiritual path.
