Why Seek Credentials?

Throughout scripture, we see examples of individuals being set apart and commissioned for specific roles in service to God and the community. Ministerial credentials are a continuation of this practice – a formal recognition and empowerment of those called to lead and minister within the faith. It echoes the spirit of the early church, where leaders were appointed through prayer and the laying on of hands (Acts 6:6, 13:3, 1 Timothy 4:14), signifying both divine calling and communal affirmation. This process ensures that those who shepherd the flock are equipped, accountable, and recognized by the community they serve, ultimately building up the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13).
