GET ORDAINED IN OREGON

Are you interested in officiating weddings in Oregon? Maybe you’re considering roles like a ministry chaplain, coaching minister, or full-fledged minister? Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) and Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA) can help you navigate this path and find your calling.

OREGON'S STATE LAW

In Oregon, legally authorized wedding officiants include ordained or licensed ministers of any religious denomination and deacons of the Roman Catholic Church. As long as you’re ordained or licensed by a recognized religious organization, you can perform marriage ceremonies.

Ordination: Get ordained or recognized as a leader in your religious organization. This can often be done through Christian Leaders Institute training and licensing ordination through Christian Leaders Alliance.
Planning the Ceremony: Collaborate with the couple to plan the ceremony, discussing religious content, vows, and other elements.
Conducting the Wedding: Perform the wedding ceremony, following any specific requirements set by the couple and your religious organization.
Completing the Marriage License: After the ceremony, fill out the marriage license with your title, date and location of the ceremony, and address. The couple usually obtains the license from the county clerk before the wedding.
Returning the License: The completed license should be returned to the county clerk’s office within a specified period after the ceremony.
