The Certificate of College Studies program
is an excellent method of preparing for the ministry and ordination. Please
read the following concerning being ordained by TGCM Organization.
The International True Gospel
Christian Ministry (TGCM) Organization and TGCM Church Worldwide™ is a Christian ministry that is dedicated to evangelism
and winning the lost to Christ. TGCM looks to serve God through our Evangelism Church website, local church meetings, and our Bible College: college.tgcm.org and by partnering with
other ministers for missions work both in the US and overseas.
We are looking for individuals like you who
are on fire for God that feel a sense of urgency about winning the lost and
teaching the TRUE GOSPEL that was revealed by Jesus and Paul. We believe in
the Dispensation of the Church and the Doctrine of Grace.
The Ordination Program
Graduates of a certificate or degree program
from our Bible college automatically qualify for entrance into the
Ordination program. Our ordination program is for serious individuals, who are
called of God and who share our belief that there is nothing greater that we
can do for our Heavenly Father than to win the lost to His son Jesus Christ.
How
to become an Ordained TGCM Minister?
Here are the basic steps:
1. After all requirements have been met and you
have completed the certificate program, request ordination by
completing the online application Ministry Ordination Application.
2. Once received and
approved, TGCM will then send you the ordination certificate which serves as
your Minister’s
License, your ID card, and welcome materials. These are renewed after
five years.
3. To begin a ministry, you then need to register
with the local government (city or county) by showing them your
Ordination Certificate (minister’s license), if required by local
laws.
3. Then you should establish
your ministry by registering any church or organization you wish to start and
operate
with the state and local government agencies where you live, if
required by state laws.
4.
Submit your reports to TGCM Headquarters. As a TGCM ordained
minister we ask that you stay in contact with the
TGCM headquarters during your first year by sending monthly
reports describing your ministry progress. After the first
year, quarterly reports are required.
Important Information:
TGCM does not pay salaries or compensation to our ordained
ministers. It is your responsibility to establish your own ministry. We
expect you to follow our doctrine, creed, guidelines and organizational
rules, code of conduct, and the TGCM Minister Handbook. Also, it is your
responsibility to remain current on Church doctrine by visiting the website and
viewing the Doctrine page. You must believe and teach TGCM’s Doctrine of
Eternal Salvation. Also, please read our Code of Ethics.
No new “teachings” or “biblical interpretations” that could be construed as
new doctrine or a modification to TGCM doctrine are allowed in a TGCM-based
church without the written approval of TGCM Organization. TGCM Organization
headquarters is the final authority on such issues and their decisions are
beyond contestation.
After the first year, you will be asked to make quarterly reports to TGCM
Headquarters. Ministers and independent churches in the US must establish their own tax exempt status with the IRS as they deem necessary.
Also, after you
have established your ministry, we ask that you make quarterly donations, as
possible, to TGCM
Organization to support the continuation of our ongoing Evangelism efforts.
There is no specific amount required.
Note that failure to comply with the requirements for TGCM Churches and ministers may result in TGCM withdrawing your affiliated status and license as a
TGCM Minister. At any time, TGCM can withdraw your license if it is deemed
necessary due to actions, causes, or failure to perform and conduct oneself
in a manner expected by holy and ordained men and women of God.
