how do I join?

MMAC is a licensing body for experienced ministers who are actively serving their communities. We typically license individuals who have prior experience in vocational ministry, formal theological or ministry training, and usually previous licensing with a comparable religious organization.

However, depending on an applicant’s vocation, experience, training, and demonstrated commitment to ministry, we may invite them into a one-year trial membership. This includes mentorship and connection to our community, with a path toward full membership. This process gives both MMAC and the applicant time to discern alignment and to ensure that each minister is well-supported as they step into licensed ministry with us.

Once our approval committee has confirmed your application, we will let you know what the next steps in the process will look like, but here is what the process typically includes:

• Criminal Records Check

• Reference provided

• Possible Interview with members of the board, at discretion of Approval Committee

• Membership Fee

• Coordinator Issues credentialing document & payment receipt

• Registration with Vital Statistics (if desired)

• Attend introductory meeting with other new MMAC ministers
