Credentialing and Ordination

Most EFCA districts require the planter to begin the credentialing process before the plant is approved.  The planter needs to be diligent to complete credentialing in a timely manner.  A booklet entitled Steps to Credentialing describes the requirements for ministerial credentials, types of ministerial credentials, and the procedures to apply for them.  You can contact the EFCA national office for a copy of this booklet at 800-745-2202.  You also need to check with your district office regarding the district's procedures for writing your paper and scheduling your credentialing council.
