P.O. Box 20030, South Lake Tahoe, CA. 96151 Ministry Phone: (559) 297-4271 Internet Websites: wcm.org ordination.com ordain.org We welcome this opportunity to invite you to be ordained by this ministry. The main purpose of World Christianship is to help spread the Christian Faith by making it easy for sincere Christians to be ordained. We provide this opportunity for Christians with all sincerity. We feel that being ordained is a decision that will transform your life and bring you new meaning, deep personal satisfaction and purpose before God. Over the last 36 years we have ordained people from all walks of life, including workaday people (blue collar and white collar), all the way to doctors, lawyers and judges. They all have one thing in common, the desire to spread the Christian faith through simple ordination. We make being ordained easy because we feel it is Biblical and that it will inspire you to do greater works for the Christian faith. After being ordained by World Christianship you will be free to carry on your CHRISTIAN MINISTRY as God directs you. We authorize you to perform all Christian religious services including the rites of marriage and baptism. You will be entitled to use a formal title before your name such as Reverend (or other similar Christian title). You will be entitled to the respect and consideration customarily given to ministers of religious organizations. As ORDAINED CLERGY you should find that many new opportunities are open to you. In all states in the USA, and in many foreign countries, you will have the opportunity to perform legal wedding ceremonies should you choose to do so. This in itself gives you the chance to earn extra money to support your ministry and family. Our handbook entitled THE MARRIAGE MINISTERS HANDBOOK is an excellent reference on this subject. I wrote this handbook personally after performing over 2,000 wedding ceremonies in homes, gardens, parks, halls & churches. In this handbook you will learn how easy it is to perform almost all wedding ceremonies. As you tour through our website you will notice that we have provided you with details on a large variety of materials, handbooks and courses. These items have been carefully compiled over many years in order to help you start your ministry as smoothly as possible. We sincerely feel that our materials will give you valuable help and guidance as you start your new ministry. In particular we have some special items that we call CLERGY PACKAGES. These packages give you a MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF MATERIALS AND INFORMATION at a MINIMUM OFFERING. This ministry is able to offer these opportunities because of the kindness and generosity of people like you. We do request offerings for the various certificates and services that we provide. Without your kind offerings we would not be able to continue the ministry as we now do. If, however, you are truly unable to send us an offering, we will understand and send you a small pocket card to confirm ordination once approved. World Christianship is a Christian, nondenominational ministry which has been in existence for over 36 years. We have ordained individuals in all 50 states and over 85 foreign countries. We extend the opportunity to be ordained to all people of legal age. When you request ordination, we believe you are sincere and that God has spoken to your heart in a very personal way. Your ordination will be for life. Enclosed you will find your Application/Ordering Form. WE SINCERELY LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING YOUR APPLICATION AND WELCOMING YOU INTO THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AS NEW CLERGY. Most Sincerely in Christ, Admin/Bishop Rev. D.E. McElroy
