The purpose of a ministerial credential is (1) to affirm God’s call upon a person’s life; (2) to verify that this person meets the qualifications and standards in The Evangelical Free Church of America; (3) to approve this person for ministerial service under the auspices of The Evangelical Free Church of America; and (4) to provide legal status in the exercise of that person’s ministry. 

The Ministerial Credential within the Evangelical Free Church is one which is a recommendation of the local church, the District and the National Board of Ministerial Standing.  The following files explain the requirements, process and procedure.  Once a candidate's file is complete within the Rocky Mountain District office with all documents and the thesis submitted, a credentialing council will be scheduled.
