Why does FCGM charge a fee for ministry credentials?
All ministries must receive funds with which to operate, and FCGM is no exception. There are financial needs that must be met and all FCGM ministers are expected to give regularly as the Lord leads to help meet those needs. In addition, there are certain costs involved in processing applications, issuing credentials, and maintaining records of ministers, so FCGM has established the annual credential fees in order to help offset those costs without having to use money from the general fund.
