A minister in a religious organization is typically referred to as a clergy member.
A minister typically lives in a rectory or parsonage, which is a designated housing provided by a church or religious organization for its minister.
A licensed minister has permission from a religious organization to perform specific duties, while an ordained minister has gone through a formal process of training and ordination within a religious institution, granting them authority to perform a wider range of religious duties. In essence, licensing is often seen as a preliminary step towards ordination.
A minister's house is typically called a parsonage or a manse. It is provided by a church or religious organization for the minister to live in while serving the congregation.
Each religious organization has there own process for becoming ordained. You can take correspondence courses too become a non denominational minister.
"In many states ordained ministers are deemed "licensed ministers"; however, they are to be in "good standing" with their organization to perform marriages, etc." Therefore, a license is a document that can expire; thereby, demonstrating that the minister is in good standing with their organization.

No. They do not need to be ordained but they do need to represent a church or religious organization to do so.
