FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will
my Ordination be accepted as Legal?
YES... In most countries around the world and in all 50 United States
our Ordinations are accepted World-wide. We will provide reference letters upon request.
Why should I become ordained? I thought only
God could ordained us.
We are subject to laws of man and this law requires that we should be recorded as legally ordained. Without recorded ordination we will not be recognized as
"legally ordained" in man's world.
Is there any other registration required to perform marriages?
In most areas you must get your ordination recorded by the local government
to legally perform marriages. You can check at the county or court clerk's office in your area for complete details and legal
requirements.
Can
I legally start a church?
YES…You can but you must obtain a Church/Ministry Charter to be recognized as a legal organization.
Can I name my church whatever I like?
YES…The Church/Ministry Charters we offer are independent of KGMA and do not require you to list us in any way. Your Church is your
own. (NOTE: we will not authorize any denominational names).
Is my ministry automatically Tax Exempt?
NO…You must file for non-profit status with the IRS. Forms are available at your post office. KBCI does not provide this coverage. To do so would require listing all
of our ministers with the government. All of our ministers would then fall under governmental scrutiny. Additionally many
would seek ordination through us just to receive a tax dodge. If you wish to get more information on NON-PROFIT STATUS in ministry from the IRS please go to: www.irs.gov
Why should I get any credentials when I become ordained?
Most areas will require you to record your ordination with the local
government to legally perform marriages, etc. There are other times that you may be asked to show some ID to prove your ordination as well. Check in your local area to find out your particular needs.
If there is NO APPLICATION FEE, why is there a charge to receive
the credentials?
There are NO APPLICATION FEES, however we charge for processing and shipping
of professional credentials. KGMA is a non-profit organization but we must offset our Administration costs.
How long does it take to get my credentials?
We will usually process the request with
3-15 days. Mail delivery time will vary according to your geographic location.
Are there any renewal fees to keep my “ACTIVE” status?
YES... Please visit our website at: www.roi-wmma.org or http://kgma.roi-wmma.org to see all
the required annual renewal fees to remain in “active” status!
Can my license and or ordination ever be revoked?
Your license and or
ordination can only be revoked or removed by KGMA. We WILL remove anyone who does not
minister the Bible as God's Word, maintain godly integrity or who does not minister Jesus Christ as the only savior of mankind.
No Ministry outside of biblical Christianity
is acceptable.
Is my personal information kept confidential?
YES…We will not give out
your contact information without your approval. We will allow other ministers within KGMA to contact you. We will NEVER give out information for name lists or mailing lists.
Once ordained, what title may I use with my name?
You may use any standard title that you choose. Reverend, Pastor,
Evangelist, etc…
Will I be able to ordain others into my new ministry?
YES…Once you have a registered ministry (covered/independent chartered church or ministry) you can legally ordain others.
Am I required to make any donations to KGMA?
According to the Scriptures, tithes should be used for the support
of the active ministry or church. We do not require that those who hold ministerial credentials to tithe to the fellowship
unless you do not have a spiritual covering and have taken full Apostolic covering under KGMA. We do expect
member support offerings from all members who hold credentials under KGMA. Please see the following
