CRC Churches International Updated 09/01/2018 Page 3 of 28 Credappl.doc MINISTRY GUIDELINES INFORMATION The requirements depend on the credential being sought. So the following excerpts will indicate which credential may be appropriate.
“3.4. National Minister’s Credential. Issuing Authority : National Executive on the recommendation of the State Council or its nominated officers.
3.4.1. The National Minister's Credential is a recognition of the clear expression of an Ascension Gift Ministry which extends beyond the particular area of service concerned and is a recognition of the Ministry Gift throughout the CRC Churches International. In order to provide an outline of the expectations of the Ministry of a person who is issued a National Minister’s Credential the minister should have completed the competencies required for a National Minister’s Credential and: • Have the capability to lead an average sized Australian Church of 80 to 100 people by providing the leadership, preaching Ministry, pastoral care, organisational and associated duties of that office; • Or, in the case of the Minister being a Missionary, Itinerant Ministry, Teaching Ministry, etc, the Minister displays a level of Ministry capability, leadership and organisational capability commensurate with leading an average sized Church. • That the person concerned has made the decision to step aside from their secular vocation and devote their full time efforts to the Ministry of Christ. This does not prejudice Ministers who because they are pioneering a new Local Church or new Ministry venture need to return to secular employment for a season; • Or, in cases where a person may retain a secular business or employment interest that they display a clear priority for the Ministry of Christ and that they display an imminent willingness to step aside from their secular vocation.
3.4.2. This Credential is issued by the National Executive on the recommendation of the State Council or its nominated officers and may be given to such persons who have a proven Ephesians 4:11 Ministry Gift and who meet the Credential requirements as stated in Clauses 1&2.
3.4.3. All applications for a National Minister’s Credential are to be submitted at the invitation of the Issuing Authority, in consultation with the Coaching Minister, to the State Issuing Authority who shall then make recommendations to the National Executive for endorsement.
3.4.4. Any person issued a National Minister's Credential shall then be: • A Member of the State and National Councils with voting rights, and is expected to attend all properly convened Council meetings. • Registered with the Australian Government as a Minister of Religion and an Authorised Marriage Celebrant.
3.4.5. The Issue Authority has the right, in exceptional circumstances, to waive elements of the training requirements normally incumbent on the National Minister – however all pastors being considered for a National Minister’s Credential must demonstrate that they have successfully completed the competencies required for a “National Minister’s Credential””
