Universal Life Church Newsletter
Are you receiving past issues of our ULC Newsletter?
Each week the Universal Life Church World Headquarters sends out a ULC Newsletter as such, usually on Saturday or Sunday and in addition between Wednesday through Friday we send out an email entitled: "Universal Life Church - Employment Opportunities."
If you are not receiving these?
You are an ordained Minister of ours but for whatever reason you have not as of yet created a profile on our ULC Network for Ministers. Usually we send these out through the ULC Network, with today's issue however we are sending such out via the ulcnetwork.com mail server to enable all to receive such.
We know most do not like to be inundated with spam email, however we assure you other than these two weekly emails we seldom send out any other email, wherefore joining our ULC Minister's Network it will not saturate your incoming email with spam as we do not send such, nor do we distribute your email address to any one.
We Offer Two Networks, one for our ordained Ministers only and one for the general public where all faiths are welcome. These networks are similar to Facebook, Shoutlife, LinkedIn, Myspace and others, but they are moreso geared for subject matters pertaining to beliefs, faith, ministry issues and current event religious news. Our ULC Network also keeps you updated with information on Marriage Laws, the OSM, the ULC and etc.
ULC Minister's Network - For faith based Ministers ordained by us only.
ULC Community Network - For our faith based Ministers, to associate with other Ministers and the general public. (All faiths welcome).
To Create a Profile on these networks, just go to our website at: http://www.ulcnetwork.com You will see two clickable links directly underneath the top header, from the left they are; Universal Life Church, ULC Minister's Network and ULC Community Network and so on, just click on each Network link and create a profile in each, it is free and it'll only take a few minutes. Feel free to contribute as you you deem appropriate. These are your networks and they are there for your benefit.
PICTURE MINISTER ID CARDS
Again these are an extremely important facet of your appearance and respectability as a ULC faith based Minister. These serve as both a wallet credential and/or as a badge and at no cost to you, you can request a lanyard, badge clip or badge reel. Other ULC's offer such without a picture, but they also offer a childish, useless press pass or parking permit. How you present yourself, it is so very important. If you want people to take you serious in whatever it is you do, you need to be professional and look professional.
No not all County Clerk's or Wedding Authorities within your state or country requires such, however as a faith based Minister your ministry work extends far beyond that of being a wedding minister. Here in the USA, no law enforcement agency, DOC or FBOP facility, hospital or nursing home will view you as a legitimate Minister, without a picture Minister ID Card.

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN STARTING AN IN-
HOME CHURCH, PRAYER GROUP AND/OR ETC?
Don't forget we offer to you what is referred to as "Congregational Affiliation" or a "Chartership." Offering a Charter of Church Affiliation from the Universal Life Church and Christian Academy was a decision that required much debate. So many churches offer charters that have little or no value to the affiliated local church members. We wanted a charter that not only shows affiliation with the Headquarters, but one that serves your church or ministry as a document you will be proud to display to the community.
A main concern in this area is that so many of the charters we investigated from other organizations serve no other purpose than to increase the coffers of those organizations. Their charters simply did not serve the local congregations as more than wallpaper and we do not care to offer such a document. A church charter issued by a major denomination requires that you abide by the national bylaws of the organization, as basically a company owned church or store of religion, if you will.
Most non-denominational Internet churches, where there are no physical headquarters office or church building, offer charters that not only do not serve their members, but also have no legal standing in some states that require registry of denomination of your physical church. To offer a valid charter, some states demand that a true physical church or ministry exists that can be substantiated. The Universal Life Church and Christian Academy comply with these standards and we are working to offer an even nicer building to serve members, both local and around the world. Though in many cases, the local church will be a house church shared by both the church and the minister's family. The chartering authority, in some instances, requires more than simply an office operated within the home. It is to your benefit to be sure that the chartering organization complies properly with the laws and requirements of your state and county. If they can not show a building dedicated primarily for purposes of religious organization, they may fall outside of your local requirements and such charter will have no legal standing.
We have worked to make our Charter of Church Affiliation into an instrument that will meet the guidelines of various states, while at the same time allowing your church and congregation to maintain the same independent status granted within our ordination process. The Headquarters in Carrabelle, Florida continues to be available to help serve the needs of your congregation while not limiting your church or ministry.
As a chartered affiliate of the Universal Life Church and Christian Academy, your church or ministry will share partnership in the overall Ministries brotherhood of members, yet maintain complete control of the affairs of your separate church or ministry. Each church or ministry will be issued a document of Chartered Affiliation, and a congregational identification number that will be valid under the terms of the chartering agreement. Chartered Affiliation is based on annual renewal of the local church charter with the Headquarters office. Agreement of charter will be sent with each certificate and must be returned to finalize the chartering agreement.
The charter was designed to allow your church or ministry freedom to worship as your faith leads you while minimizing the requirements of mans' world. For more information on "Congregational Affiliation" or "Church Chartership," CLICK HERE
