Universal Life Church

Reverend Kurt Fondriest, Ph.D. , MFA, ATR, REAT, CPC

    I became ordained through ULC after I earned my Ph.D. in Holistic Ministries from The American Institute of Holistic Theology. I always felt ministry as ones reflection from the inspiration they find in life.  I am a registered expressive art therapist, holding a MFA from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.

    I have completed over five courses in the seminary and recently signed up for my sixth one, "Dr of Spirituality"  I find these courses very informative and I am honored to belong to a ULC as a free thinker and creative soul. I work as an expressive art therapist in Chicago for people living with various disabilities. I have been in the field for over 25 years. I have presented at regional and national creative art therapy seminars. I am an active writer, poet, artist and holistic minister.

As a long time member of ULC, Rev. Long created the seminary site to help train our ministers. We also have a huge catalog of Universal Life Church materials.  As an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church for many years and it's Seminary since the beginning, I've enjoyed watching the continual growth of the seminary.
