Licensing
Licensing is the process whereby an Applicant is approved by The Western Canadian District (WCD) for placement in ministry with the Christian & Missionary Alliance in Canada.
Licensing is for all Applicants serving in a paid ministry role for at least 15 hours weekly, at an Alliance Church. A paid ministry role is defined by our denominational manual as “a primary focus on meeting the spiritual needs of people and/or providing church leadership.”
