GET ORDAINED IN OKLAHOMA

Have you ever dreamt of conducting a wedding ceremony? Are you keen on embarking on a fulfilling journey as a wedding officiant in Oklahoma? Or maybe, you’re being drawn towards roles such as a ministry chaplain, a coaching minister, or a full-fledged minister?

The collaborative efforts of the Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) and the Christian Leaders Alliance (CLA) can navigate you through the diverse roles you can aspire to with CLI. Furthermore, we will share an inspiring story of a Christian leader who has successfully navigated these waters.

OKLAHOMA'S STATE LAW

To become an officiant in Oklahoma, it’s crucial to adhere to the state’s specific laws and guidelines. This program aligns seamlessly with these requirements, ensuring that you are equipped to officiate weddings under the expansive Oklahoma sky.

Unlike in some states, Oklahoma does not require ministers to register with any government office to perform marriage ceremonies. This simplifies the process of becoming a wedding officiant in the state.

Ordination: Become ordained or recognized as a leader (such as a deacon or elder) in your religious organization. This is often achievable online and typically free of charge.
Planning the Ceremony: Collaborate with the couple to plan the ceremony, which will likely involve discussions about religious content, vows, and other service elements.
Conducting the Wedding: Perform the wedding ceremony, adhering to any specific requirements laid out by the couple and your religious organization.
Completing the Marriage License: Upon conclusion of the ceremony, complete the marriage license. The couple will most likely obtain this from their local county clerk prior to the ceremony. As the officiant, you will need to fill out the relevant portions, including your title (such as minister, elder, etc.), the date and location of the ceremony, and your address.
Returning the License: The completed license should be returned to the county clerk’s office (usually by the couple) within a specified period post-ceremony. The time frame may vary, so ensure to check with the local county clerk.

EXPAND YOUR MINISTRY OPPORTUNITY

CLI offers an expansive training program that meets Oklahoma’s requirements for wedding officiants. Unlike the often superficial “Online Ordination Only” courses, CLI nurtures a comprehensive ministry education and practical training approach.

Christian Leaders Institute (CLI) has been providing Biblical free ministry training through its “give it forward” program since 2006. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of accounts have been created. CLI offers various recognitions, including awards, certificates, and diplomas, through its Christian Development School. Additionally, CLI provides college degrees through its Leadership Excellence School, known as CLI’s Leadership Excellence School.

Christian Leaders Alliance (CLI) is a strategic partner of CLI and operates an international Global Ministers Commission. This commission oversees the ordination path for clergy in various ministerial roles based on their studies and recommendations. Since 2014, thousands of officiants, ministers, and ministry chaplains have been credentialed and are serving their communities. See Directory. Christian Leaders Alliance also manages Soul Centers, where credentialed ministers can register their local geographic ministries if they choose to do so.
