Answer the Call

Get Credentialed

Your running start toward becoming a Certified, Licensed, and Ordained Assemblies of God minister through the Northwest Ministry Network, one clear step at a time.

Why get credentialed

Credentialing isn't paperwork. It's the church saying yes to the call God put on your life, and connecting you to a family that will go the distance with you.

Get connected

Credentialing links you to the wider Assemblies of God family: other ministers, churches, mentors, and a network ready to champion your calling.

Open doors

A credential opens doors to pastor, plant, perform weddings, and step into roles across ministry that simply aren't available without it.

Carry real authority

It's a clear, recognized affirmation that the church has confirmed your calling and stands behind the work God has put in your hands.
