Fast-Track Process

 

In 2011, the General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God approved a fast-track credentialing process. A new fourth category was approved in the August 2014 meeting for ministers spouses.

​

Do you or someone you know meet any the following criteria?

Are you a:

• Lead pastor who wants to bring their existing church into the Assemblies of God? (ordained)

• Staff pastors of that same church who currently hold credentials with other organizations? (ordained)

• A ministry-active spouse who is married to a minister who has been ordained with the Assemblies of God for a minimum of 10 years? (certified/licensed)

 

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then the fast-track process may be for you!   Please contact the Credentials office for more details: brenda@laaog.org
