What is the Ministerial Credentialing Program?
The Ministerial Credentialing Program (MCP) is designed to educate students in an on-line platform where students can work at their own pace. These courses are wonderful if you are desiring Christian Education Units, a Local Minister's License, a Minister's License, or Ordination through the South Carolina Conference of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church.
To be licensed, individuals must complete the above course work and an application for each ministerial credential desired. Additionally, a tithing report from your local church must also accompany the application. Individuals who complete the required course work will receive the appropriate application for the license they are seeking.
While course work is completed at your own pace, students must complete each semester within the time alotted. The Spring Cohort runs from January-May of each year, and the Fall Cohort runs from August-December of each year. Enrolling in the MCP will require a commitment from each individual to devote the necessary time to study and submit assignments as outlined in each module.
How Do I Apply?
The application window will open in December and July of each year. To apply for acceptance into the MCP, you will open the Apply Online link. Please complete each section and submit the requested information.
Application for Licensing
If you have completed the course requirements and are ready for the next step to hold credentials with the SCIPHC, please complete the Ministerial Licensing Application and submit the required information.
