True Vine Ministries - Prayer is NEVER a Waste of Time! - Prayer is NEVER a Waste of Time!

There are three (3) guidelines that all members of the TVMC are to be aware of:

• All credentials are specific in nature
• Credentials do not relate to how long one has been in ministry
• And are based on the covenant connection over a period of time with TVM

Ministry License

A ministry license is issued to:

• Qualified ministers who are aspiring to become ordained with TVMC in the near future
• Part-time ministers operating in the office of the five-fold ministry

Ordination

This credential is issued to those in full time ministry as prescribed in Ephesians 4: 11. TVMC requires that once awarded ordination, a laying-on-hands service will be arranged for these TVMC ministers. This service may be held at the TVM HQ or at the minister's own church.

Qualifications to Receive Credentials

In order to be considered for a Ministry License or Ordination with True Vine Ministerial Council, all applicants must meet the following requirements:

1. 21 years of age
2. Born again, baptized in water, and baptized in Holy Spirit
3. Called of God and actively involved in ministry
4. In accord with True Vine Ministries'  statement of faith
5. Under the leadership of a local pastor, in a Christ-centered church
6. Living a Christ-centered life and willing to be in covenant relationship with True Vine Ministries; to support TVMC in prayer and financially as the Holy Spirit leads, and to attend TVM’s gatherings or conferences as and when they occur
7. Submit the credential application form with a written testimony, and supply references

Requirements for Credential Holders

At the end of each year credential holders must renew their credentials. A renewal fee applies. TVM Certificates will be valid only when accompanied by an updated covenant card.

TVMC can at any time deny, revoke, or withhold ministerial credentials if the credential holder does not maintain a Christ-like life, preach, or teach sound doctrine.
