Important: For out of state ministers performing a wedding in Wisconsin:

If you require a letter of sponsorship, please make a request in writing to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with the following information:

  • Your Name
  • Mailing Address
  • City
  • State

A sponsor may get in touch with you, or we will simply have a letter forwarded out to you.

Currently the Wisconsin Legislature requires that;  § 765.17 Ministers must obtain a letter of sponsorship from a fellow minister of the Church within the State of Wisconsin.  The best resource currently available to meet the sponsorship requirement need is to contact one of our ordained Universal Life Church Ministers  on our Minister Network.  You will need to ask one of them to sponsor you.  If you do not have any success, please contact us

We have asked our Wisconsin Ministers to aide you with your need of sponsorship for both ULC ministers in state and out; enabling you to perform the sacrament of marriage, among other practices protected by your constitutional right to practice religious customs freely and without restraint as guaranteed by the First Amendment.  Letters of Good Standing are available through the Monastery for ULC Ministers willing to participate in facilitating sponsorships.
