W elcome! If you’re here, you’re probably trying to decide which AMM Minister Ordination Package to buy, whether it’s worth the price, and if you should add a training class into the mix. To help you decide, we’ve created a simple comparison tool based on your budget and the reason you're getting ordained. Keep in mind that ordination with AMM is recognized in every state* (it's much harder in Virginia, where we're looking into our options), and all of the packages covered here come with your official minister credentials. So you can’t make a bad choice… no matter which one you buy. That said, different packages and products have different perks. American Marriage Ministries is a federally-recognized nonprofit nondenominational church. (We’re legit: See our credentials here.) We provide free online ordination, training, and advocacy for people all over the country. With more than one million ordained ministers, we’re lucky to have a diverse congregation with diverse needs. To choose the best ordination package for your needs, it’s important to figure out what you want to do with your ordination, and go from there!
