Credentialing and Ordination

Most EFCA districts require the planter to begin the credentialing process before the plant is approved. The planter needs to be diligent to complete credentialing in a timely manner. A booklet entitled Steps to Credentialing describes the requirements for ministerial credentials, types of ministerial credentials, and the procedures to apply for them. You can contact the EFCA national office for a copy of this booklet at (800) 745-2202. You also need to check with your district office regarding the district’s procedures for writing your paper and scheduling your credentialing council.
