As this is the introductory level of credentials, we expect ministers, whether vocational or not, to actively advance in faith and serve the local church while exploring their gifts and calling in a safe environment. After a period of one year and continued study, exhorter ministers may apply for promotion.
Monthly Fee: $30
Lock Eyes with Mission
Those licensed by the Pentecostal Church of God exhibit a definite call by God, having already identified their spiritual gifts and practiced them in the context of Christian service. Licensed ministers actively pursue vocational ministry, being eligible for promotion after a period of two years and continued study.
Monthly: $30
Launch into the Deep
Ordination is considered the highest goal in the credentialing process. Ministers are commissioned with the full support and authority of the PCG. Though ordained ministers are not required to serve in full-time vocational roles, we expect desire to remain active in ministry in whatever capacity that may be.
Monthly Fee: $30
Before receiving credentials, ministers at every level are required to first complete the Minister’s Study Series, which involves a particular set of readings and accompanying review questions, or equivalent. The exhorter series emphasizes biblical studies and theology, while the licensed and ordained series dive deeper into spiritual formation and ministerial leadership. All ministers must also be familiar with current PCG bylaws. Equivalency options may include the Forerunner Experience (Exhorter only) or an undergraduate degree atMessenger College or other Spirit-filled Bible college / university.
Upon completion of the Minister’s Study Series, individuals may fill out an application and submit to their state or district office.
(1) new applicants must complete the Application for Minister’s Credentials, (2) previous applicants must complete the Application for Reinstatement, and (3) current ministers seeking promotion must complete the Application for Promotion. All necessary forms are included above.
Please fill out every relevant form (i.e. felony or divorce), and take care to include the pastoral reference letter.
Along with the application, forms, and pastoral reference, please also include a check or money order made out to the Pentecostal Church of God.
Fees include: $50 for background checks plus $90 advance payment (covering the first three months of credential fees) for a total of $140. Make checks out to Capital District PCG and mail to 13705 Blue Ridge Ave. Blue Ridge Summit, PA 17214
If for some reason the application is denied, $60 will be refunded to the applicant.
