Ordination may be granted to those involved with a definable primary ministry over an extended period, and who devote a significant amount of time to such ministry. The candidate for ordination should also demonstrate maturity in character and attitude, and be sound in doctrine and Biblical knowledge. Accepted candidate shall be ordained by the laying on of hands by a presbytery composed of ordained ministers (must have been licensed for at least 2 years).
A person holding the ordination credentials has been given the authority to pastor and oversee congregations, perform weddings, funerals and all sacerdotal functions. Ordination credentials will not be reviewed annually by the committee, but as individuals, they will be accountable to Christ For The Nations through the Fellowship of Ministers and Churches. |
