If you feel God has called you into ministry and wish to work in The Alliance Canada, the next step is to begin the licensing process. The licensing process is a necessary requirement prior to placement in ministry for all persons serving 15 hours per week or more in a paid local church ministry role. Local church ministry is defined in The Alliance Canada Manual as having “a primary focus on meeting the spiritual needs of people and/or providing church leadership.”

Candidates who are in a conversation with an Alliance Canada church and are desiring to become licensed should contact the District Office to request an application package. Once all completed application materials are received from the applicant, an interview will be scheduled with members of the Licensing and Ordination Committee.

A church may choose to have a preliminary conversation with a candidate prior to candidating, however, successful completion of the licensing process is a prerequisite to hiring.
