Credentials
It's time for Credential Renewals! Please consider renewing NOW that the online system is available to you by clicking the following link: https://ministerrenewal.ag.org/Home/Renew
Hard copies will be mailed to you during the early part of November. Be sure all questions are answered correctly; your renewal form is signed and is sent to the Network Office with the $10 Network renewal fee. Also, be prepared to pay the balance of your General Council and Tennessee Ministry Network ministerial dues at the time of your renewal.
A GREAT FEATURE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IS THE ABILITY TO HAVE A PHOTO ON YOUR FELLOWSHIP CARD. You may upload your picture and have the choice of including it with your listing in the online Ministers Directory and/or on your Fellowship renewal card! Now is the time to swap out a more current picture if you already have one being used at http://agpassport.ag.org/
As a reminder, the Network Deadline for credential renewals is December 15th, but if you submit your renewal before December 1st, you will be entered in a drawing to win an AMAZON GIFT CARD for the amount of $150.
