What are ministry credentials?
It is a fundamental fact of Christianity that all Christians are called to share the good news of Jesus death and resurrection. For some however, there is a strong sense of vocational calling on their lives.
Shelton Covenant Ministries (SCM) assists those persons who feel God’s call to obtain ministry license or ordination.
Who is eligible?
Any individual who is born again and is in agreement with our beliefs is welcome to complete the application for ministry credentials. These credentials are not only official church documents, but are also a professional certification, much like teachers, and many other vocational certifications.
