Licensing and Ordination

The process of earning a credential with the Evangelical Free Church can be complicated, but should be an interesting and positive adventure. It is my job to help pastoral candidates work through this procedure to a successful conclusion. One of the tools we use is Gateway, a year long course which brings candidates together into cohorts while writing their required papers. We have also standardized the required credentialing councils for positive outcomes. All this to make earning a credential as smooth as possible.
