Understanding Ministerial Credentials and Church Governance

The United Pentecostal Church International (UPCI) offers three levels of ministerial credentials: local license, general license, and ordination. What is the purpose of ministerial credentials and why are there three levels? How does someone determine whether they should seek credentials with the UPCI in the first place?

General Superintendent Dr. David K. Bernard provides an overview of the UPCI's ministerial credentialing process and offers guidance to those who feel called to ministry but aren't sure how or where to begin.
