Free Ministerial Ordination
Q: I can obtain a ministerial credential elsewhere
for free. Why should I pay for certification through ACWO?
A: To be blunt, you get what you pay for. While the basic Internet
"minister credential" will be accepted in many states, the American
Council of Wedding Officiants credential, which includes legal
ordination as a minister through First Nation Church, is accepted in
virtually every local jurisdiction across the United States.

Did you know that your
"free minister ordination" elsewhere can end up costing you much more
than you bargained for?
Just about any free
ceremonial ordination service will give you a piece of paper with your
name on it. It looks official, but what happens when you take it down to
the County Clerk's office? That's where your fun begins.
If your "credential" is
accepted — and it's a mighty big "if" — you're good to go. If not,
you'll be going back to the ordination service to see if they'll provide
you with a "letter of recommendation" from the church. Here's a quick
lesson for you: it isn't free!
(Here's another lesson:
the letter is included in our standard package, at no additional charge
to you.)
Want a personalized
certificate with your name on it from them? Get out your wallet. How
about an identification card? They'll charge you for that, too. Oh, and
you want it shipped to your home? There will be an additional fee for
that as well.
Suddenly, your "free"
ministerial credential elsewhere can end up costing you more than $150!
Our nominal $39 administrative fee includes five-year membership
in ACWO, an average of less than $8 per year, and our basic package
includes EVERYTHING
you'll need to be confident in the power that has been vested in you by
First Nation Church!
