Thanks For Reading...

For an online church, it took American Marriage Ministries surprisingly long to launch our digital newsletter, but the wait is over! We know many people and organizations want your attention (and to fill your inbox). We’re going to make our newsletter worth your while. Once a month, we’ll bring you up to speed on the following – what’s new at AMM, the latest advice from seasoned officiants and wedding professionals, and our advocacy efforts around the country to make marriage accessible to everyone, no matter who they are!

The big news this month is obviously our new website, which we just launched. It’s got the functionality that our ministers need, integrated with an easy-to-use interface. Let us know what you think.

In addition to our new website, we’re growing in other ways such as the hiring of a communications director - me! My job here is to raise our profile and draw attention to the important work that we do here at AMM – helping couples celebrate wedding ceremonies that reflect their values and beliefs.

If you’ve got suggestions for how we can become a more active voice in the debate over marriage equality, ways to support our ministers, or any other advice, I’d love to hear from you.

In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be locking in dates and events around the country where we’ll be participating in conferences and other events. Make sure to skim our monthly newsletter for more details!

Sincerely,
Lewis King, AMM Communications Director

We're Famous
 
While we take ordaining ministers seriously, our office is still a fun place to work. That’s why the folks from the phone-in comedy and variety talk show “The Chris Gethard Show” stopped by our office to film a segment. They found out how easy it is to get ordained, and what you can and can’t do as a minister. Watch it here.

It’s a nice day, for a barn wedding… 

After picking their minister, a couple’s second most important decision (in our humble opinion) is choosing the venue for their wedding. More and more ceremonies are taking place in barns. Have you officiated a barn wedding? If so send us some pictures and tell us how it went!   

The All New Website is Live!

Over the last few months, we’ve been hard at work redeveloping our website! We improved all of the features that brought you to AMM in the first place, and created new and exciting ways to interact with the AMM community. We set out to create a website where visitors can learn from previous ministers, and interact with a vibrant online community. The new website offers a cleaner layout, more need-to-know-information at your fingertips, and improved functionality.

And in case that just sounds line marketing buzzwords, let’s put it this way. We’ve made getting ordained and performing marriages as easy as signing up for an email account!

As happy as we are with the new site, we always want to improve the tools we provide for our Ministers. So, check it out, and when you’re done, let us know what features you would like to see on the AMM site.
