Obtaining an EMCC Ordained Minister Credential
About the Ordained Minister Credential
The procedure presented in this brochure outlines the steps to be taken on the way to ordination in the EMCC. It will be important for the candidate to demonstrate Christian humility during this entire process.
The local church board plays a central role throughout and as such is urged to proceed with due consideration at each step. Let nothing be done that will detract from our common purpose of glorifying God.
The process intends to do several things: continue the ‘quality control’ process involved in any credentialing system, contribute to the development of the candidate by requiring the candidate to assess and synthesize personal and ministry development and clarify and facilitate the path to the credential we call ordination.
The local church, the wider EMCC movement and the candidate all have a vested interest in assuring that there is a good and thorough examination of the candidate and a proper opportunity for confirmation, affirmation and celebration of the candidate’s call to; and readiness for “stated ministry.” Keep the Regional Minister (RM) in the loop throughout the process.
