Ordination

Please note that joining the Patria family does NOT directly equate to eligibility for ordination and that this step if requested will require review and approval by the Board of Directors, which may include fulfilling additional requirements.  Patria does acknowledge duel ordination and it is not necessary (from our perspective) for you to give up ordination from another organization in order to be ordained by Patria (though in some extreme cases where core values of Christian Faith my be questionable in the other organization, relinquishing such ordination may be required).  In some cases licensing may be required prior to approval of ordination.  If you seek to obtain ordination from Patria it is essential that you begin by reading our Ordination Qualifications, Ordination Code of Conduct and Ministerial Removal Policy prior to making your request.
