ORDAINED MINISTRY LICENSURE
Although we recognize that God has called all believers to minister for the Kingdom of God, the term ordination is the acknowledgment by a community of believers that a person has been called by God into vocational ministry. One word in Biblical Greek that is translated, "ordain" is διατάσσομαι meaning to command, appoint, ordain, set in order, give orders. The word "minister" in Biblical Greek is διάκονος which means to be a servant (in the strictest terms it means to wait upon tables). When the two words are combined, "ordained minister," we get the definition "To appoint one to serve" or "appointed servant." This is the heart of a true minister for God. We are seeking this type of person to come under the covering of Christian Concepts to impact the world for Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.
To apply for ministry ordination, fill out the form below, and request an application for the Ordained Ministry Licensure Program. You will be emailed an application.
