Chief Chaplain Bruce Francis - Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Will my ordination be accepted as Legal? YES. In almost all Christian countries around the world and in all 50 States. The ordinations presented from CFMI™ has been accepted worldwide. However, some denominations outside of the CFMI™ structure may not recognize your ordination. That is up to their individual Church or Ministry policies, not God's.
Q. What are the CFMI requirements for Ordination? The first step is submitting a completely answered application for ordination, along with the requirements of identification. We are required to have proof of whom you are. Two letters of reference from someone that knows you and your efforts to help others, and a resume detailing your work in the ministry, community or what you would like to do to help others, along with the required application fee. Include copies of any documents and ministerial experience you may have.
Q. How long will the ordination application process take? We take this as a serious calling from our Lord Jesus, and take all necessary steps to bring in qualified applicants. The total process could just take a couple of weeks or up to a month. Bare in mind that most denominations can require months or even years before an ordination is approved. The ordination process is reviewed by Chief Staff Members.
Q. Do we ordain Women? Yes. We are all of one Spirit in the body of Jesus Christ. No place in the O.T. or N.T. makes any distinction that there is a difference.
Q. May I as a minister or chaplain perform counseling without a license? Generally, yes. Ministers may perform marriage, individual, and family counseling of a religious nature, as may be limited by the laws of the land.
Q. May a minister or chaplain charge a fee for counseling? Depends, it is part of the job of a pastor. The counselee may make a donation or a love offering may be given. Check the laws in your State regarding faith based counseling.
Q. What services am I allowed to perform as a Minister or Chaplain? Anointing the Sick, Marriage, Reconciliation of a Penitent, Lord's Supper, Baptism, Confirmation, Funerals. And other rites as allowed by scripture.
Q. What is confirmation? Confirmation is a rite after baptism. It is an optional service. A period of instruction precedes confirmation.
Q. What is your denominational covering and Spiritual authority? To answer this question directly and in all truthfulness We must state; the hand of man did not create us. Our reason for being, and authority to exist comes from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who raised up this ministry, and who covers this ministry, which is answerable to Him. We owe our existence not to Man or a denomination - but by the direct work of the Living Head of the Church of whom all power and authority exists.
