There are many ways you can be involved in the Association.

Ministers:

Those who seek ordination can be ordained through the Association in Apostolic Succession with valid Holy Orders.  Ordination is either to the Diaconate (a deacon) or Presbyterate (a minister or priest).  Often ministers in training are ordained as deacons for a time.  Others are permanent deacons who function as servants to the body of Christ.  The Bishop of the association is fully ordained and consecrated in succession to the apostles.  Those who are ordained should have full recognition of canon law and church tradition. Ministers in good standing with the association receive a certificate of Bishop's Commission annually to validate and support their ministry to the community.

Ministries:

Local parishes, or para-church ministries in good standing with the association receive a certificate annually to validate the the local ministry and its connection to the universal Body of Christ through the Association of Inclusive Ministries.  Churches may operate under the name "Inclusive Christian Church"

Associates:

Those interested in being a part of the association and support its goals may receive an associate certificate.  These same individuals may or may not be members of a local parish or ministry within the association.

Good Standing:

Clergy and Ministries in good standing are those who voluntarily communicate with the Bishop, seek prayer and other guidance, receive communications on Bible studies and other pastoral issues, and make a contribution to the work of the association in any amount after prayerful consideration and guidance of the Holy Spirit at least once a year.  There are no set fees for annual Bishop's Commission for clergy, Ministry Partnership certificate, or Associate certificate.
