Step 2: Pre-Application Questionnaire

All applicants must fill out a Pre-Application Questionnaire. This questionnaire allows our office to assess if you meet the basic requirements for credentials.

 BASIC REQUIREMENTS

  • SPIRITUAL: Applicants for ministerial credentials with the Assemblies of God must be saved (new birth, born again), baptized in water and in the Spirit (with evidence of speaking in other tongues)

  • EDUCATION: All applicants must meet the appropriate educational requirements for the level of credentials being sought.

  • MARRIAGE HISTORY: While history with divorce and remarriage is not an automatic disqualifier from credentialing, it can be in certain cases. Please communicate with the Network Secretary’s office via the Pre-Application Questionnaire prior to starting the credentialing process for clarification in these areas.

  • LIFESTYLE CHOICES: All applicants must state a willingness to abstain from using tobacco, alcohol, illegal or recreational drugs in any form, and involvement with pornography or gambling.

  • BANKRUPTCY: If you have a history of a bankruptcy, please download and complete the Bankruptcy Questionnaire and send to the Network Secretary’s office.

  • RESIDENCY: Applicant must reside in New York at the time of their application.
