The purpose of a ministerial credential (en español) is to:

• affirm God’s call upon a person’s life
• verify that this person meets the qualifications and standards for ministry in the Evangelical Free Church of America
• approve this person for ministerial service under the auspices of the EFCA
• provide legal status in the exercise of that person’s ministry

There are four types of credentials in the EFCA:

• Ministry License (Vocational and Non-Vocational)
• Certificate of Christian Ministry
• Certificate of Ordination
• Transfer of Ordination

​Start the process by contacting your district office.
