Welcome to Trinity Institute of Christian Counseling, Dee Cooper-Durden!

We are overjoyed to welcome you into the Holy ministry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, joining the hundreds of ordained Trinity Ministry Team members worldwide.

This is to confirm that Trinity Institute of Christian Counseling has received your application for ordination, which was submitted from our website www.trinity-edu.com. This email contains some very important information about your ordination and ministry, so please take the time to read it in its entirety.

The church realizes that this new legal status as an ordained minister is difficult to realize. It is almost too good to be true - but it is. In St. John 15:16 it states that God chose you, not the other way around. Your ordination is of God from before the foundation of the earth - according to the Bible. Once you are ordained through Trinity, you are ordained for life... unless you, yourself, write and renounce your ordination. No one can take it away from you.

===========================================================

AS A MINISTER OF TRINITY INSTITUTE OF CHRISTIAN COUNSELING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT:

To perform marriages within your state, following the rules laid out by the state in which you wish to perform said marriage.

To perform funerals, baptisms, last rites or any other sort of legal ceremony or ritual you wish to perform, except circumcision.

To start a church of your own, be it a bricks and mortar building or on the Internet.
