Licensing and Ordination Policy
    1. Members of CFCM are registered into one of three categories. These credentials are issued by CFCM at the discretion of the Board of Trustees to its members and recognized by the government as follows:
    2. Recognition — Is an acknowledgement of a part-time bonafide ministry approved by the local church.
    3. Licensing — Is a level of authority enabling the member to perform ministerial responsibilities and establishes a waiting period before CFCM recognizes Ordination.
    4. Ordination — Is a recognition of ministry. We acknowledge the gifting of God for ministry. This is the highest form of credentialing by CFCM. (A copy of your Ordination Certificate or letter from your Ordaining Minister must be attached to this application).
  2. Note: Your credentialing classification will be discussed with you by your Area Director.
    1. If you are approved as a member of CFCM with the status of 'Ordained', we can apply to the Vital Statistics office in your province to register you to perform marriages. Should you desire this registration you must advise our office as it is not automatically done for you.
  4. Do you want to be registered to perform marriages?
Sponsorship
    1. CFCM believes that all are sheep and need to be shepherded. (John 10:11.) We believe that each affiliate member must have someone he or she relates to in a Pastoral role. We expect the 'Sponsor' to fulfill that role.
    2. A Sponsor is accepting the fact that his/hers is a functional pastoral role with that particular person. A Sponsor should be someone of reputable Christian Character, who is in agreement with the basic philosophy of CFCM and who is presently speaking into the applicant's or affiliate member's life and does not have to be a member of CFCM.
    3. When a Sponsor is not able or does no longer desire to sponsor a particular affiliate and the sponsorship is dropped, then the affiliate's membership with CFCM is automatically terminated at that time. It is then required of the person to reapply for membership in CFCM.
Agreement
    1. Each local church is encouraged to set apart those with a proven and recognized ministry. The faithfulness of the applicant in a local church setting will be one of the most favourable factors in the acceptance procedure.
    2. I realize that in order for my application to be processed, it is necessary to complete an interview with an Area Director of CFCM. I will make myself available to an Area Director as quickly as is mutually possible to complete. Where a candidate for membership is unknown to the National directors, or is sponsored by an individual who is not a member of CFCM, that candidate will be approved for a probationary membership period of two years. Following completion of the probationary period the appropriate Area and District director will then review the candidate for full membership status.

  3. Type "I Agree" if you agree to all the terms and conditions set forth by CFCM.
