HISTORY
Christ For The Nations Fellowship of Ministers and Churches (CFN-FMC), formerly known as the Alumni Ministers’ Fellowship, was founded in 1991. Initially, it functioned as a department under the Christ for the Nations umbrella, but in April of 2003 the CFN-FMC obtained its own 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. In August of that year, the IRS issued CFN-FMC a Group Exemption letter recognizing all affiliated churches and ministries as exempt from federal income taxes.
ELIGIBILITY
Any person with a known and verifiable calling may apply for CFN-FMC credentials. Those who are approved for credentials by Christ for the Nations Institute are required to become members of the CFN-FMC for the purpose of accountability. Individuals who are licensed or ordained with other organizations may apply to transfer those pre-existing ministerial association and credentials to CFN-FMC. Alternatively, such persons may choose to hold duel credentials with CFN-FMC and another organization.
PURPOSE OF THE FELLOWSHIP
