ACCREDITATION MINISTERIAL POLICY
Mister’s License and Ordination
Accreditation is an ongoing process that involves a number of important aspects in its entirety called to serve our Lord Jesus Christ, the church and the world.
TMP and non – denominational organization but oriented to contribute to the universal Church of Christ , equipping ministers and leaders to be more effective in their various callings and spheres of influence , extends two kinds of ministerial accreditation: The Minister’s License Credential and the Ordination, both possessing same requirements ( described below ), and a general order of succession.
Upon request and always subject to God’s direction in relation to the requirements and evaluation criteria that we share here, all graduates our Advanced Training Program in Leadership can access these credentials. In clear terms, neither of these credentials are necessarily offered by us as a requirement or recognition of successful completion of the program in question, but will be available for the graduates who request it and meet our criteria for evaluation.
Licensed Minister Credential
We believe this accreditation available to two distinct prospects:
A) As a necessary ministry experience time (before us) that will guide the applicant to ordination as a minister of the gospel of Christ.
B) One who is called by God as a leader to minister (serve ) the Good News of Christ with integrity , whether in the local church or community, but do not experience a “full-time commitment”, this is in reference to a trade or profession that exists.
Regulations and requirements

- Complete the application form available here on our web site; and together with the Certification form, which is also filled “on line” by someone close to you (not family), and can attest to his call , achievements , plans and personal and ministerial integrity. This certification is always required when you apply to renew your credential.
- Send the Activity Report, whose guide appears in this section entitled Activity Report Protocol. Once you have been approved and you count on our accreditation, you will send via e-mail to us this same report every six months during the first two years. Thereafter, it will be annual. This activity report will be also helpful to assess your ministry and personal growth.

Ordination Credential
We believe that Ordination is the act of authenticating, recognize and confirm the call of the Holy Spirit in ministry leadership from someone whose fruit in the work of God, in their spiritual, moral, and family life proves it. Every Christian leader who with integrity devotes his full time to the service of God, church , and community can apply for this credential.

- In general, anyone previously approved as Licensed Minister by us and have given evidence during this period of their calling by God . In particular cases, where directed by the same, we could proceed to extend an array without the need for such process.
- Anyone applying and is approved for ordination must return the Licensed Minister credential and/or certificate we issued initially, and so we proceed to give the new Ordination accreditation.
- The Ordination Credential lasts two calendar years after it is issued. After completing this time and if you have complied with our policies, you can renew it for a further period of two years, and so on.

Principles of Ethics
Anyone who has earned our accreditation, grant us the right and responsibility before God, to evaluate their work, service, personal integrity and commitment to Christ and the Good News of His message. Our goal, through this means, is to serve as a backing, whether in prayer or counseling regarding progress in your ministry, strategic plans, negative circumstances and problems or family issues. We do not exercise any control to do it our dependent, economic or solicit any contribution, unless you voluntarily choose to do so without incurring commitment of both parties .
We will notify you (as soon as possible) of good things, concerns, or unfavorable issues which might in any way affect our relationship, your life and ministry. We would appreciate the same attitude from you as well.

Recommendation
The continued growth in the knowledge of God, as well as issues related to ministry and service to others is an essential part of spiritual development and character formation for a leader. So it is highly recommended that you attend one of our “Summit”; update program for ex-alumni of TMP, at least every 3 or 4 years.
