Credentials
"Every Christian disciple has a ministry, and all who are called to ministry should be accountable. Ministerial credentialing, however, relates to particular vocational calls and carries with it both recognition and accountability...
Credentialing in the Church of God movement may take the form of ordination, licensing, or commissioning. Each requires that certain qualifications be met for ministry requirements and accountability".*
Northwest ministers interested in obtaining Church of God credentials should indicate their desire in writing, and will be required to attend a Ministry Call and Credentials seminar. More information on the credentialing process can be obtained from the following document:
Credentialing Process for Applicants
