Ministerial Credentials

ITS is privileged to participate in the ministries of many wonderful men and women by offering Ministerial credentials to those who qualify. After reading the requirements for licensing and ordination, you may apply online by completing the Ministerial Credentials application form below. You can also download a printable version to complete by hand.

Licensing Requirements

Licensing is the 'first step' toward Ordination. Licensed individuals hold all of the rights and responsibilities of an Ordained minister in the absence of an Ordained minister.

Ordination Requirements

Ordination recognizes the experience and seriousness of an individual's call to ministry. Ordination is only granted to those who have served in ministry work for a minimum of three years, two of which must have been licensed.

To qualify:

  1. Complete the ITS Ministerial Credentials application form, indicating whether you are seeking licensing or ordination. List all past ministerial experience.
  2. Submit 3 letters of recommendations from fellow clergy.
  3. Successfully complete the course Ten Basic Foundations.
  4. Provide a recent photo (passport size).
  5. Pay $75.00 for the first year's annual dues. This fee is due yearly.

Note: Your application fee will be refunded if, for any reason, you are not granted credentials.

Submit the ITS Ministerial Credentials Form online. If you leave the page, your progress will be saved so you can return and continue where you left off.

SIGNATURE

We Believe:

  1. In the inspired and infallible authoritative Word of God.
  2. There is one God eternally manifested in the person of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  3. In the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, in His vicarious and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension, and in His personal return in power and glory upon the earth.
  4. That regeneration and conversion through faith in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity.
  5. The Gospel includes holiness of heart and life, healing of the body and a definite experience with the Holy Spirit, whereby the gifts of the Holy Spirit become active in the life of the believer.
  6. In a life awareness of the presence of God's Kingdom here on earth today and faith in the complete restoration of the Kingdom of God upon the earth in the future.
  7. In the bodily resurrection of believers at the end-time; the just unto eternal life and the unjust unto eternal damnation.
  8. In the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

We also believe there are many other God-called fellowships, organizations and/or associations of which Friends and Christ Together, Incorporated is only one.

Friends and Christ Together, Incorporated reserves the right to deny, revoke, or withhold minsterial credentials.

I, the undersigned, believe the above confession of Faith and agree to uphold the high standards of the Ministry of Jesus Christ and Friends and Christ Together, Incorporated Ministerial Fellowship.
