Credentials are available for congregations that are just starting or for those who have been in existence for years, if your church group does not have a spiritual or legal covering you would do well to consider affiliation with NLCFI!

About the tithe ... In order to be financially equipped to serve your needs in ministry, we rely upon the monthly faithfulness of our member churches with their tithes and missions offerings!  We do not expend time nor resources on "fund raising events" nor on "___athons", we just simply rely upon our member churches to be faithful to tithe.

In order to apply for Church Credentials, the Senior Pastor must be an NLCFI member in good standing and must apply for the appropriate credentials.
