International Ministerial Fellowship is an Association of Christian churches, ministers and missionaries. Our Membership and

3. Special Ministry License Those who have a clear call to Christian ministry in the local church or a recognized parachurch organization who do not have a call to pulpit ministry, but serve in directly-related support ministry with biblical
and theological education demonstrating spiritual gifts and ministry skills under recognized ministry leadership. They are
authorized to perform all sacerdotal services under the authority and leadership of their Senior Pastor of the local church.
4. Commissioned Minister Those who have a clear call to Christian ministry and service who have some biblical and
theological education and training, who serve in evangelism, outreach ministries or community service under recognized ministry leadership. They are authorized to perform all sacerdotal services.
5. Commissioned Spiritual Elder - Those who have been appointed to serve as ministers of Missional Communities in

Missional Community and their families that are members of the Community.
6. Licensed to Preach Those who have a clear call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ who are in a mentoring relationship under a local church Senior Pastor. They are encouraged to pursue their biblical and theological education
and training, preach and teach as given opportunity in their local church, and to submit to their church leadership and
ministry mentor. They are NOT authorized to perform sacerdotal services.

OTHER
9. Associate Member (Non-Credentialed) An Associate Member is entitled to all the rights and privileges accorded to
a general member. Ordained or licensed clergy who join IMF as Associate Members are accorded the same respect as
an IMF member with their ecclesiastical (rostering) standing. Although the Associate Member may be credentialed by
their own denomination, we honor them and the ministry God has established through their faithful service to Christ.
Since they are not credentialed with IMF, they are NOT authorized by IMF to perform sacerdotal services.

Most Denominations and Faith Groups require their rostered ministers to pay tithes to the Denomination.
IMF does not make this demand in an effort to assist our members. Our desire is to be a blessing, not a burden.
47. Financial Plan. All members must pay their annual membership fee. Moreover, since our membership fees do not cover all of our operational
costs, our Board requires our members to participate in one of our monthly giving programs (see enclosed program description entitled, Your
Financial Responsibility). Please complete the Faith Promise, sign and return it with your application and non-refundable application fee.
