Assemblies of God Credentials Portal
Becoming a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God is more than a title. It is a calling affirmed through preparation, accountability, and community.
The process includes a formal application, meeting educational and character requirements, ministerial testing, and an interview with our leadership team. This thorough process allows us to maintain the highest standards of integrity, leadership, and spiritual effectiveness among those who serve in our fellowship.
If educational requirements are already complete, the process typically takes 3 to 6 months.
