Ministerial Credentials
Ministerial Credentials
The IECCA issues ministerial credentials to qualified persons through an approved application process, regardless if those credentials are to be issued by transfer, recognition of previous credentials or otherwise.
The Three Most Important Determining Factors For Issuing Ministerial Credentials
- Is the Applicants daily life a convincing testimony as to having been born again?
- Is there clear evidence of a genuine and divine call to the ministry which is evident to others
- Do they possess a passion for reaching and winning lost souls for Christ.
We issue three distinct levels of ministerial credentials to those applying for membership based on qualifications and experience. They are as follows...
- Certified Minister (Novice)
- Licensed Minister
- Ordained Minister
If you currently hold a credential that is not listed, but is lower than “Licensed Minister”, then you will be issued “Certified Minister” credentials.
Individuals who already hold valid credentials from a recognized and reputable organization will be transferred in at the same level unless the Credentials Committee determines otherwise.
