The Lifetime Ordination ID Card is our premier ordination status. By choosing this option you will be ordained for your entire lifetime with the American Fellowship Church (as long as you stay in communion with us).
Along with the Lifetime ordination you have the option for an Ordination Certificate for 50% off the requested offering, and benefits of reduced pricing on our courses for life.It is important to remember that we require that you stay in communion with the church. This means that you must contact us at least 1 time per year to let us know what is happening with your ministry and to be certain that we have your current contact information.
Plus early notification of new offerings of the church.
Besides the Lifetime Ordination you may be interested in becoming a Journeyman Minister by completing three of our four Self-Study courses:

Serving as both a Minister and a license Celebrant has changed my life by serving others. Being a Minister with such a valued and respected church makes everything glorius.

Received my renewal ID cards very quick!
Although I am a "lifetime" member, I noticed my cards had a/an expiration ( more or less) date on them. When I asked about that, I was told the cards would gladly be replaced stating that I am a "Lifetime Ordinance" if preferred. I, personally, feel honored for people to see this on my ID card when shown.
Even though it wasn't a 'major' deal, Rev. Swenson saw to it that my cards would be replaced- and do so very quickly!
Again, I am very proud to know that I am a member of the AFC !!
Thanks again, Rev. Swenson for everything!

It is my opinion when someone buys a "Lifetime" Ordination, you should give them the certificate.

Hello Minister Mansell,
We appreciate your thoughts, and we have issued and mailed an Ordination Certificate to you. :-) Thank you for being a Lifetime Minister with the AFC.

Quality sturdy plastic card.
Would just recommend a way for us to send in a photo.jpg to be placed on it.

Received all of my products on time and in good form. I am extremely pleased with everything I have received. AND, the classes online are really well done and I am learning a lot as I go. I hope this will take care of all things.
In joy,

I received my card and was pleased with its quality and professional appearance. The card will last a lifetime.

Just think how much 4-6 years of seminary would cost you, with no real guarantee that you would be ordained into a congregation at the end of your experience. A $250 donation to enable Rev. Swenson's ministry is a win-win play any way you slice it.
Remember that you will still need to keep in contact with AFC to stay current, and let them know of any changes to your address.
