ORDINATION, CHURCH/HOUSE PLANTS: 

Re: Inquiries for ordination and/or planting churches.  For your convenience, here is a summary of our requirements.

Part of our equipping/mentoring ministry includes ordination and planting churches whether they be in a building or a home, hence, house plants.

If you are seeking ordination; or seeking to transfer your ordination credentials to NLWM, each request is handled individually before the Lord. Ordination with us is relational. Not everyone is 'called' to serve with us. We believe Jesus ordains, we recognize His ordination, and He 'places' you.  Therefore each application is handled seeking the Lord's will and His timing.

If you are a pastor or a missionary from another nation seeking our credentials or support in any way, we must be in relationship with you.  Please apply according to the same instructions given below.

We require a walk with God that is uncompromised, firmly rooted in holy love and the Word of God.  You must be walking in the fruits of the Holy Spirit, and ministering in your everyday life, not necessarily with a title of some sort, but because Jesus in you is reaching out in His love and grace all the day long. 

You must be one who keeps your word; not one who makes promises which you cannot or may not fulfill.  Your words must be well chosen.  You must be slow to anger; quick to forgive. You must not be easily offended.  Rejection is part of ministry. If you walk in holiness and the fear of the Lord, God's word promises that you will suffer persecution. It is fellowship with the sufferings of Christ. If you need help with this, we will pray with you and suggest a season of growth and maturity.

If you believe Jesus is leading you to transfer your license/credentials to NLWM, it must be the Lord leading you into a new season. If it is because of offence or moral failure, that must be dealt with through repentance which includes 'turning' from sin, making resitution if needed, as well as reconciliation.  We are willing to help with that process. Then if it is meant to be, we will consider your application.

Internship is not a requirement for those transferring their license/credentials.

Re: Church Plants ... We do not provide 501(c)3 status.  As a licensed and ordained minister, under IRS law, you already have access to ministerial tax deductions related to your profession as a minister. Should you desire a 501(c)3, you must make application separately with the IRS, or choose a religious organization that is qualified, and specializes in providing such services. 

Our vision at NLWM is focused on relational covering, not organizational.  Therefore, it is our desire to keep administrative work as simple as possible so that we can all concentrate more fully on representing God's love to those who are near and those who are a far off. Therefore, we are especially excited about planting more "House Churches."  We believe much of what God is doing in such a time as this is happening in the more relaxed environment of local homes.

If you believe Jesus is calling you to be a NLWM candidate for ordination with us, your application process begins here:

Please send your inquiry along with a letter stating your faith in Jesus Christ, your experiential qualifications, your vision, two personal recommendations, and two  ministry recommendations. 

The application fee is $40. Should we ordain you, the Ordination fee is $222 a year. As long as your walk with Jesus is above reproach, and you continue in relationship with NLWM, your credentials will be renewable every two years. 

(If you would like to give an offering for those who are unable to give this modest fee, please consider an extra gift toward NLWM. Thank you.)

Please use the 'Donate' button for your fees/gifts; and send your application letter, including a current picture, and the requested information either by Fax or Mail to NLWM:

FAX: 209 795-4253   - or -

P. O. Box 4458
Camp Connell, CA 95223  USA

Any questions may be sent to: 
NewLifeWorshipMinistries@comcast.net

We will go over your information and get back to you, Lord willing, within ten days. If we are led to accept you as a candidate and cover you relationally, one of two things will happen next.  We may receive direction to ordain you at the earliest convenience. Or we may receive direction to begin the process of internship and eventual ordination. 

If we receive direction to turn down your application, clearly God has not chosen us to ordain you.  We will then pray with you, bless you, and thank Him for our time together. We will trust God with you that He will lead you to those He has already chosen for you. 

His plans for you are for good and not for evil to give you a future and a hope.  He is able to complete the work that He began in you according to His will and His good pleasure. 

We look forward to meeting with you and hearing your vision.  God Bless You.
