MEMBERSHIP is only considered after a 12 month probation period. During this period relationships are built between the Regional Co-Ordinator and the applicant and his ministry, thus enabling the applicant to know IFCC and the way it operates.
Application for Membership:
- The Regional Co-Ordinator shall firstly interview the applicant to ascertain whether the applicant understands the responsibilities of membership and whether they qualify to become a member.
- A letter of recommendation from the pastor of the ministry in which the applicant is currently serving must accompany the applicant before interviewing.
- Each applicant shall accurately complete an application and other relevant documentation needed for the process.
- Applicants must adhere to the “Statement of Faith”, and the requirements of the “Federation”, and be morally, ethically and doctrinally sound.
- The completed application forms must be returned to the respective Regional Co-Ordinator, who will process the forms to the administrative offices for action.
- Upon submission of application, the applicant must begin to attend and be committed to all Regional and National Conferences. The attendance of Regional meetings and the National IFCC Conference is compulsory for continued membership, as these helps all members to move together in what God is saying to us as a movement. If unable, the member must submit an official apology in writing or telephonically.
- At the end of the probationary period, the Regional Co-Ordinator will recommend the applicant for full membership and will send a letter of recommendation to the administration office.
- Should a minister leave the church or ministry under which he holds his IFCC membership, the validity of membership will be reviewed.
- Financial structure – A monthly contribution of not less than one percent (subject to increase) of the ministry’s income must be given into the administration office,preferably by debit order with application. Failure to pay after one year will cancel membership, unless the outstanding amount is paid. Every year members must evaluate their giving in the light of the growth and development financially of the local Church and ministry and adjust their monthly contribution.
- An initial once-off non-refundable membership registration fee of R250-00 is payable upon application.
