Our credentials officially recognizes a preacher’s God-given ministry which has already been proven. These credentials are given that our ministers may have the benefit of equal rights by law and in business with ministers of other religious organizations. We require that our ministers have a PROVEN MINISTRY. We also issue fellowship cards to Christian Workers.

CHRISTIAN WORKER credentials may be issued to a person who has a call on his or her life to work for the Lord in some field other than that of preaching, pastoring or evangelizing. This may include Choir Director, musician, Sunday School Superintendent, teacher, hospital visitation worker, house-to-house visitation, altar worker, street or jail service worker, or a ministry other than that of preaching.


EXHORTER credentials may be issued to a person that is working part-time, who is not supported through his or her ministry; a person who is working under the leadership of a more mature minister. This credential is to be used by all those who have felt the call to preach and are just starting out in the ministry. The person holding this credential may preach, hold revivals, or do other religious work of any type under the direction of a Licensed or Ordained Minister. This credential must be held by all beginning ministers for a period of 9-12 months before applying for higher credentials.


LICENSE (to preach) credentials may be issued to those ministers who are working part-time or full-time as a pastor or evangelist, conducting services. These credentials will be issued only AFTER a minister’s first year of ministry.


ORDINATION credentials may be issued to those who have been pastors or evangelists for two years or more. Applicants for this credential must have a mature and proven ministry.

In each case an applicant’s life must be above reproach. Applicants for License and Ordination must have experienced the Baptism of the Holy Ghost according to Acts 2:1-4. Each application is considered individually by the Credential Committee. All questions on the application must be completed before it will be presented to the committee for consideration. Failure to present a completed application may result in delay in approval and processing of the credential applied for.
