Credentialing Process
Credentialing offers recognition to those called by God to lead the Church. Also, when a person is credentialed, those who see it recognize the blessing on that person and on his/her ministry by established leadership. Those credentialed find themselves part of a group that provides accountability, synergy, fellowship, and purposeful vision. Our fellowship recognizes four levels of credentialing, three are national level and one is district level.
- Ordination – this is the most authoritative rank of ministerial order within the IPCC. Ordination is open to both men and women, and is granted by the General Conference.
- Licensed – issued by the General Conference as well, Licensed ministers are authorized to perform all ministerial and sacerdotal functions, except serve in national level IPCC positions of leadership.
- Evangelist – this is the entry level credentialing into national IPCC events. Also, those who are working under another minister in the IPCC often are credentialed at this point for purposes of apprenticeship. The Evangelist is recognized as a ministerial order within the IPCC.
- Lay Minister – for those individuals who do not sense the divine call into vocational ministry, Lay ministry affords enhanced ministry possibilities while serving within the local church and under the local pastor. Its principle function is to allow ministers, preaching and non-preaching, to be recognized as servant-leaders within the local church.
God’s Gifts for Ministry
While our fellowship gives out the above credentials in recognition of divine call, anointing, and for the purposes of accountability, we are still Pentecostal — living according to the dictates of the Spirit. The Spirit, according to Paul, gives gifts as He will (1 Cor.12-14). Also, we believe that Jesus, at His ascension, gave gifts to His Church (Eph. 4:10-16). These gifts Jesus gives are men and women who prepare the Body for her ministry. Each of these ministers perform a special type of service, all complementing the other to edify the C/church. Below is our understanding of those gifts. We also recommend the reader to the article on the ministry gifts written by Rev. Donald C. Stamps in the Life in the Spirit Study Bible.
- Apostles – meaning, ‘one sent out.’ Appearing 80 times in the New Testament, and its idea is explicitly stated 4 times. The term was used in reference to Jesus, the 12, to Paul, to James, and to others. Approximately 27 individuals are mentioned as some sort of apostles. (Heb 3:1, Lk. 6:13; 1 Cor. 9:1; Gal. 1:19; Rom. 16:7). The apostolic function today is found often in pioneer missions, denominational leadership, etc.
- Prophets – meaning, ‘to speak forth.’ Mentioned over 140 times in the New Testament, prophets played and still play a vital role in speaking forth and foretelling God’s plans. Every believer is able to prophesy, yet it is clear that God designated certain individuals to specialize in this ministry. Biblical prophets, and those who function the same way today, spoke out of immanent spiritual impulse with a sense of the imperative rather than passive indifference. (Eph. 4:11; 1 Cor. 12:18; Rom. 12:6; 1 Cor. 12:20-31). Those leaders today who challenge the Body and inspire with fresh vision and passion are those who fulfill this type of ministry.
- Evangelists – meaning ‘good-news-er.’ The word ‘evangelist’ only appears three times in the New Testament, but the idea of spreading the Gospel effectively and consistently is all throughout the New Testament. As every believer is called upon and energized by God to witness, there are those within the Body whom God anoints to both teach others how to evangelize and how to win the multitudes themselves. The primary work of missions, in the evangelistic tradition, contains also deliverance and healing ministry. (Eph. 4:11; Acts 21:8; 2 Tim 4:5).
- Pastor/Teacher – The pastoral and teaching functions need not be considered the same. The teaching ministry may stand alone, but pastors by virtue of their ministry must be able to teach (1 Tim 3:2). Their ministry is so complementary that they are like Siamese twins. The word ‘pastor’ only appears once in the New Testament, but the idea, when joined with shepherding, is mentioned 16 times.
