UPCI Requirements

 Here is where you will find the UPCI requirements obtaining a ministerial licensing at each level. For each ministerial level of licensure, new applicants are required to complete the Ministry Central Credentialing Training Series. This is required to obtain ministerial license with the United Pentecostal Church International. The listed requirements must be completed prior to your District Board interview.

- Each applicant must read the Bible at each licensing level.
- Each applicant must read the Manual of the United Pentecostal Church at each licensing level.

For each course students are expected to read the textbook, watch the six video sections, and complete the assessment. Upon completion of each course you will be issued a certificate of completion. Once you complete all ten courses in the credentialing series, you will need to print the transcript of your grades and give it to your sectional presbyter or appropriate district official before meeting your district's board.

Your district board sets the parameters for licensing in their district and may have additional requirements. Understand your district's requirements in addition to these courses. Taking these course does not imply that you will receive a ministerial license with the United Pentecostal Church International.
