Continuity of Policies: Right to Change or Discontinue
The policies and procedures in this manual are not intended to be contractual commitments by The National Association of Christian Ministers, and employees, volunteers, or members shall not construe them as such. They are intended to serve as guides to management and are merely descriptive of suggested procedures to be followed.
We reserve the right to revoke, change, or supplement these guidelines at any time without notice. Such changes shall become effective immediately upon approval by management unless otherwise stated.
This policy is not intended as a guarantee of continuity of benefits or rights. No permanent relationship with our organization for any term is intended or may be implied by statements in this manual. The National Association of Christian Ministers is a private religious organization. Our Executive Elders reserve all rights to discontinue services, training, ordination, licensing, membership, affiliation, or other benefits at their prayerful discretion.
The NACM is a Christian religious organization founded in the United States, operating first under the authority of God and second under the laws, regulations, and constitutional rights granted by our nation. According to the instruction of God’s Word in Romans 13:1-7, we submit ourselves to the God-ordained authority of the United States government to the extent that it does not infringe upon God’s command to be holy, even as He is holy (Matthew 5:48; 1 Peter 1:16).
On the other end of the continuum, where there is law, there is also a need to interpret it. Therefore, it is inevitable that some people will abuse interpretations to avoid personal responsibility, place blame, seek financial profit, or pursue other improper purposes.
While we do not like having to sound “legal,” it is for these reasons that we find it necessary to state the following:
This site provides a variety of information pertaining to Christian ordination, minister licensing, certification, and ministry in general.
Such information should not be viewed as legal advice, nor do we guarantee the accuracy of all content.
While our sincere conviction is to provide the public with truthful and straightforward facts pertaining to ministry, there is never a time when anyone knows everything other than God. Therefore, the potential for error is always present in human communication. When changes to our services occur, our goal is to communicate those changes. However, it is not possible to ensure that every member of our organization, or every member of the public, will receive our notices.
Therefore, we reserve the right to make changes to any or all of our services without notice. Additionally, we make no warranties, expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, regulated acceptance of ministerial status, training, privileged access, tax exemption, or related matters.
There are United States government agencies that recognize our organization as a valid source of training and credentialing for ministers. Irrespective of this success, we hereby publicly affirm, as a religious institution of the Christian faith, that our purpose is to unite the Body of Christ and provide spiritually based educational resources that advance the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Should undesired outcomes arise as a result of our communications, users agree to hold this organization harmless. Scripture upholds the understanding that every person has a responsibility before God to affirm truth. National Association of Christian Ministers is a United States registered service mark and limited corporation. All rights are reserved. Copyright © 2026.
“I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.” (Acts 24:16)
In good conscience with God and myself, I have read and understand this information.
