free ordination is just the beginning
Beyond offering free ordination, it is important for American Marriage MInistries to live up to high ethical standards. As a Church we believe in respecting the human dignity for people of all walks of life. We also believe that as an institution we have an obligation to act as a responsible steward of our planet. Why get married if we don’t work towards a future worth inheriting?
ALL PEOPLE WELCOME
Whether you are religious or non-religious is not important to us. What is important is that you have a sincere intent to perform marriage and that you take your responsibilities seriously.
IRS 501c3 CERTIFIED
American Marriage Ministries is the only IRS Certified Non-Profit Charity offering free online ordination. Our priority is to offer the most reputable online ordination possible.
SUPPORTS MARRIAGE EQUALITY
We believe marriage is a universal right. All people should be able to get married, whether they gay, stright, lesbian, or trans. Marriage is not about sexual orientation, it is about love.
CARBON NEUTRAL
American Marriage Ministries is a carbon neutral organization. Marriage is about two people creating a future together. We believe it is important for our organization to play a small role in working towards a better future.

AMM Minister Testimonials
Officiating Weddings is a Powerul Experience.
My best friend asked me to officiate his wedding. I said sure, not really knowing what I was getting myself into. AMM helped immensely in preparing me for the wedding. Officiating the ceremony was such an honor and a lot of fun!
