Apply for Ministerial Credentials.
You do not need to complete everything at once. Your progress is saved automatically at each step, and you can return to finish whenever you are ready.
Before You Begin
Most applicants complete this form in about 20–30 minutes. The longest section is your calling statement — a 250 to 500 word account of your call to ministry, your spiritual journey, and your purpose for seeking credentials. You may want to draft it before you start.
Save your progress and return later — no account required.
A $125 non-refundable application fee is required for review. Our team will send payment and document-submission instructions after you submit the online form. The annual credential fee ($225 license, $250 ordination) is invoiced only after your application is approved.
We do not collect Social Security numbers on this form. Every applicant must complete screening directly with our designated third-party provider. Any additional identity information is submitted securely to that provider.
