The national licensing procedure for missionaries now requires proof of background check and completion of sexual misconduct class online.
 
Pastor, it is crucial that the character of those you are recommending be in compliance with the efforts of our national church and jurisdiction in particular. If you have concerns and questions in this area, please contact our Jurisdictional Representative.

There are two categories for which you may recommend your Aspiring Missionary who has served faithful and consistently at your local church under your leadership for the page two (2) years.
