Become an ordained minister!

Become a minister in the Order of Melchizedek at this Ordination Ceremony with Rev. Daniel Chesbro of the Sanctuary of the Beloved Church in Conesus, NY. 

As an ordained priest, you will be able to perform legal weddings, baptisms, funerals/ memorials, sacred rituals, and ceremonies. 

Those who do healing work, energy work, body work, or intuitive readings/counseling may wish to become ordained, as a form of legitimacy and protection and as a statement of their spiritual path.
​
Includes certificate (mailed to you), workshop, and energy transfer during ordination ceremony. 

The Invitation

In early 1986, Daniel Chesbro received guidance saying simply, “It is time to call the Priests.” With that statement and through subsequent dreams, Dan was guided to start the Order of Melchizedek.
 

After receiving guidance regarding the actual ceremony, Dan ordained the first two priests, a man and a woman, on Easter Sunday, March 22, 1986. Since then, over 16,000 people, from diverse backgrounds, have chosen this path.

About Melchizedek

Melchizedek is a historical figure in the Old Testament of the Bible and is said to be the original Priest. All Priest / Priestess traditions are descendants of his teachings and writings.

​

Of the many incarnations that “The Christ” assumed in order to serve the human condition, one is Melchizedek, a totally balanced being — as a Priest and as a King — and spiritually androgynous. Being more “spirit” than “physical”, he/she appeared on the Earth without a birth experience, wrote The Book of Job and the teachings on the principle of “The Law of One”. Upon completing his physical work, through true spontaneous combustion, he left the Earth plane.

Melchizedek is beloved by many faiths, as a great teacher and prophet. The “School of the Prophets” and the Essene Order are a result of his Earth work.

Priests in today's Order of Melchizedek are the direct inheritors of this spiritual history. 

The Order

The Order of Melchizedek is a priesthood of individuals committed to teach and/or heal the Human Condition as it emerges into the Age of Aquarius. The order has come into physical form now because of the Earth transformation that is taking place. It last came into being in preparation for the coming of Christ.
 

This is not the only Melchizedek Order that has emerged; several groups have simultaneously begun, totally independent and many times unaware of each other’s existence. This Order does not say that their way is the only way. There are many paths to God, but the basis of all true spiritual work is Love, Unconditional Love, and we all come from that Source.
 

The Order of Melchizedek does not discriminate; thus, everyone is welcomed. The Order is not a religion, but a service order. Each Priest is legally ordained under the “Sanctuary of the Beloved,” an incorporated, non-denominational church in New York State and in the United States.
 

Priests are not required to “give up” anything they believe in or to resign from any other organizations. There is no doctrine they must follow. There is no dogma, no hierarchy. (And no vows of celibacy or poverty!)

The Event

During the four-hour event, you will learn the history of the priesthood, as well as the Melchizedek energies and incarnations. Also, Rev. Chesbro will speak on the legal ramifications in becoming a priest allowed to perform weddings, baptisms, sacred rituals, and ceremonies.
