Minister Licensing Through NJUC
NJUC will, after a positive review of qualifications, issue ordination licenses and certificates to ministers who are not licensed with other denominations.
Many ministers are unable to preach the Gospel and complete typical ministerial functions because they did not belong to any recognized denominational organization. These ministers were, in effect, prevented from being recognized by federal, state and local civil authorities as duly qualified and ordained ministers of the Gospel and therefore not permitted to conduct certain marriage ceremonies, funerals, baptisms, and etc. They may also have been limited in performing ministry in hospitals or other care facilities.
To become a licensed NJUC minister, a candidate must meet the rigid qualifications established by Reverend Swain in the initial program implementation.
Send us your information (name, address, phone, email, current church affiliation, date of conversion, date called into the ministry, any special education that you have completed, your basic doctrinal beliefs, and at least two (2) references who can vouch for your character and spiritual relationship with God. If a current NJUC licensed minister provides a referral for you, please include that minister's information in lieu of the two (2) references required above. Include a check for $35.00 made payable to "NJUC" to cover administrative costs of producing the license and establishing your ministry records.
After a satisfactory review by our National Advisory Board, NJUC will issue minister credentials suitable for framing and/or presentation to churches.
We ask that each licensed minister send an annual offering to NJUC to help cover the costs of maintaining the program and ministerial records. Please note that PayPal donations are managed for NJUC by PCM Managment, LLC. You will see that name on the PayPal donation web page.
