Seminary Program

This is where we post the essays from many of our Universal Life Church Seminary students. When students finish a ULC course, they write a comprehensive essay about their experiences with the course, what they learned, didn't learn, were inspired by, etc. Here are their essays.

Wiccan Studies

Wiccan Study Course
When I signed up for this course I really didn’t know what to expect. I have never taken an online course. I have been studying the Craft since the 1970’s. I wasn’t sure if I would learn anything or not. Well, I did learn a lot and I have changed my thinking about a few things also. It was interesting to take a course written by one so practiced and knowledgeable, but with very different training from myself.

I have tried things again that I had tried and abandoned for what ever reason. I have a new outlook. I was actually feeling a bit bored with Wicca and paganism in general. Every book I picked up seemed to say the same things over and over. Now I see that I was picking up the same kind of book over and over. To truly stretch and grow, I have to pick up the book that I rejected from my attention. I have to try things that I haven’t tried and try things again that I couldn’t or wouldn’t do. I have reached out into my community and made contact with other Wiccans. They may not have the same exact beliefs that I do but that is not scary any more. I thought that I should be around others with the same beliefs. That’s not true. It just caused stagnation and boredom. I need to be around other with different beliefs and backgrounds. I can’t learn if I provide myself with the same lessons over and over. I need new and different lessons to grow.

I can’t thank you enough for this course. I was sad to hear that the man that created this course has moved on to the Summerland. His words live on and I was privileged to learn from him.

The Universal Life Church is a comprehensive online seminary where we have classes in Christianity, Wicca, Paganism, two courses in Metaphysics and much more. I have been a proud member of the ULC for many years and the Seminary since its inception.

The Universal Life Church offers handfasting ceremonies, funeral ceremonies and free minister training.

As a long time member of ULC, Rev. Long created the seminary site to help train our ministers. We also have a huge selection of Universal Life Church  minister supplies. Since being ordained with the Universal Life Church for so many years and it's Seminary since the beginning, I've watch the huge change and growth that has continued to happen.
