Universal Life ChurchMinister, Director and Founder of ULC-NJ

May. 2018New JerseyThe Universal Life Church of New Jersey (ULC-NJ) is a non-denominational, non-profit religious organization that recognizes the importance of maintaining open hearts and open minds, and embraces any individual, no matter his or her spiritual background, who wishes to become a member of this family of faith. We believe that we are all spirits in bodies, seeking and discovering our own personal truth in our own unique way. For some, that truth is found through a higher power, a supreme being, a glorious teacher -- Jesus Christ, Buddha, God, Allah, The Divine, Mohammed. Others find truth through pagan gods and goddesses, or through nature, or through examining life and the experiences we all have. All of these paths, and more, are welcomed and explored. We believe in religious freedom, as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others and is within the law, and value all the beliefs and viewpoints of our ministers and members, however varied and controversial they might be. We welcome all who seek truth, wisdom, and tolerance, and we explore many faiths and belief systems, seeking to understand and explore the universal truths that each of these contain. We use teaching material from a variety of sources, the Bible included, as wisdom is found in many places and people each hear it in different ways. Our main purpose is to do that which is right, and to help any and all who ask to find what is right for them, their spiritual truth, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual preference, background, belief, or other church affiliations.
