Important Costs & Ordination Details

🔹 Universal Brotherhood Fees (Not Included in Program Cost):

A Message from Jessica
I am truly honored to offer The Birch Tree Ministry Mystic & Ministry Ordination 10-Month Program once again. This program is deeply sacred to me, and I am excited to walk this journey with each of you.
By the end of our time together, you will be certified as a Mystic and ordained as an Interfaith Minister. As a National Minister/Director of the Universal Brotherhood Movement, Inc., I will personally guide you through the ordination process, ensuring your credentials and ministry are fully recognized.
🕊 Please note that UBM fees for ordination ($95) and annual minister dues ($60) are separate from the program costs. These are required for your official ministerial registration and the legal protections of your ministry.
If you feel called to step into a deeper connection with Spirit, serve others through sacred ceremony, and develop your own spiritual path, I welcome you to this life-changing journey.
With peace on your path,
🌿 Rev. Jessica Kozak Shaw
Founder, The Soul Purpose LLC
Minister/Director, Birch Tree Interfaith Ministry
