Which Membership Path Is Right for You?
At FCF, we believe ministry flows out of relationship. Whether you're just stepping into ministry or have been walking in your calling for years, we offer three pathways to support, equip, and affirm what God has already begun in your life.
No matter which option you choose — Ordination, Licensing, or our Leaders Membership — you are joining a fellowship rooted in shared purpose, strong relationships, and the belief that He anoints and appoints; we simply acknowledge.
Leaders Membership-For those who want connection and resources without credentialing.
Maybe you're in a marketplace ministry role, a leadership position at your church, or just looking for a community of like-hearted believers. Our Leaders Membership gives you access to resources and relationships that will build your faith and leadership capacity—without pursuing formal licensing or ordination.
What to Expect:
No legal standing, but full access to training resources, podcasts, and leadership development tools.
Eligibility for coaching opportunities.
Invitations to events and community gatherings.
A space to grow, be encouraged, and stay connected.
It’s about walking in fellowship and growing in who God’s called you to be.
Licensing-For those beginning their journey in ministry.
Licensing is an initial recognition of your ministry call. Whether you're leading in your local church, teaching, or serving in outreach, licensing provides spiritual and practical support as you grow.
What to Expect:
No requirement to attend a service, but you’re always invited to connect at events.
Legally allows you to perform funerals (but not weddings).
Access to minister’s manuals, coaching, leadership tools, and more.
A great starting point if you're discerning your long-term ministry path.
Licensing acknowledges your call and gives you the tools to move forward.
Ordination-For those deeply rooted in ministry leadership.
Ordination is more than a title—it’s a spiritual acknowledgment of the call of God on your life to serve in leadership or pastoral roles. It represents a deeper level of commitment and accountability within the body of Christ. If you are actively leading in ministry and feel a strong confirmation of your call, this may be the next right step for you.
What to Expect:
Attend an ordination service within 2 years of being approved.
Gain legal authority to perform weddings and funerals.
Receive personalized coaching, leadership resources, and access to seasoned ministry counsel.
Connect with a community of like-minded leaders across the nation.
Ordination is about publicly affirming what God has already done.
