CREDENTIAL Q&A:
Q: Is there a renewal fee?
A: There is no renewal fee in addition to your tithe and General Council dues. If you need to get caught up on this year's tithing obligation (10% of all earned income), you can pay online at www.northwestministry.com. You can pay your General Council dues online at www.ag.org.
Q: What if I can't afford my General Council dues?
A: The General Council dues are not in addition to the Network tithing obligation. Your General Council dues can be deducted from your Network tithe. Each minister is responsible for deducting their General Council dues from their tithe and paying them directly to the General Council office.
Q: What if I have not met my financial obligation to the NWMN or the General Council?
A: Unless you represent a case of severe suffering, such as a major accident or medical problems, General Council generally will not renew your credential until you have paid the annual dues for your credential level ($240 ordained, $180 licensed, $90 certified). If you have not met your tithing obligation to the NWMN, or show a $0 or minimal balance for your giving for the year, please attach an explanation and we will be in touch with you.
Q: I am retired, do I need to renew? Who has to renew?
A: Every credentialed Assemblies of God minister-regardless of your credential level (i.e.,
certified, licensed, ordained) and regardless of your status (active, disabled, senior active, senior retired) must renew annually. Every year some ministers needlessly put themselves through emotional and financial angst because they procrastinate and fail to renew before the deadline. Save yourself some needless pain and suffering by doing it on time!
Remember the deadline to submit your credential renewal is DECEMBER 31st so be sure to submit it before the busy holiday season. If you have any questions about the renewal process, please don't hesitate to contact our office.
