About the ULC

The Universal Life Church is built on a foundation of freedom and nondiscrimination, and everything we do stems from our guiding belief that “we are all children of the same universe.” As such, the ULC opens its arms to anyone who seeks to join, regardless of their identity or preferred belief system.

We have two key tenets:

  1. Do only that which is right
  2. Everyone should be free to worship as they see fit, so long as they do so in accordance with the law and respect the rights of others.

Online ordination through the ULC carries the same legal authority as ordination from more traditional religious organizations. As such, our ministers aren't limited to officiating weddings — ULC members regularly perform all manner of ministerial duties, including baptisms, funerals, house blessings, regular services, and much more.
