Ministry Licensing Application
Procedure: All pastoral staff members serving in Mennonite Brethren Churches in official paid or volunteer capacities are required to be licensed by the appropriate District Faith and Life leadership.   

The licensing process is initiated by the local church Board sending a request to the District Minister recommending the individual for licensure. Following receipt of such a request, the application is sent to the licensing candidate for completion. When complete, the questionnaire is returned to the District Minister, who will then schedule an interview with members of the District Board of Faith and Life. Following a successful interview, a license will be issued by the District. The license will expire at the conclusion of that particular ministry.

Requirements: The licensing candidate is required to read Faber, Connie and Jost, Lynn, Family Matters:
Discovering the Mennonite Brethren, 2017 (pdf and epub versions available HERE) AND the entire Confession of Faith of the Mennonite Brethren Conference AND the following articles available on the www.usmb.org website: In the USMB Family section, What We Believe, Our Story and Anabaptism, including the 12 Principals of Anabaptism.

The following is an additional recommended resource, available to assist in the completion of the application and may be ordered from Kindred Productions online at www.kindredproductions.com.
