Since our founding in 1975, we have helped thousands of men and women of all

faith groups, ethnic, gender, educational, professional and occupational

backgrounds to become legally ordained ministers.

Men and women in every state in the United States, in all the Canadian provinces, and in many other countries throughout the world, have become ordained in our church. Furthermore, in addition to ordination the American Fellowship Church can provide you with spirituality information and materials which you can use to enhance your well-being and assist your desire to serve God to the best of your ability, once you are ordained as a minister. People sometimes refer to the process as online ordination but that is not a correct description of our process to becoming a licensed minister.

Ordination and your religious freedom People want to become ordained in our church for almost as many different reasons as there are people. Fortunately, the constitutional separation of church and state in the United States allows for a degree of freedom for spiritual growth and religious expression.



Whether people feel the call to serve God as minister, preacher, chaplain, pastor, priest, deacon, brother or sister, or even rabbi, becoming ordained online can be the way for them to achieve their goal.



As well as being independent, non-denominational and international, the American Fellowship Church believes in allowing individual responsibility for spiritual growth and development. We Believe That each person's reasons for wishing to become ordained are between that person and God.

That if you become ordained, you may find yourself led to spiritual growth and development.

That God has different messages for different people in different situations.

There are many paths leading to the same point and we are all open to many avenues for growth We ordain both men and women as ministers The American Fellowship Church welcomes and ordains women and men into the ministry. Testimonial from one of our Ministers...



I was skeptical at first about contacting the A.F.C., being wary of getting an affiliation I wouldn't like, but after reading the material that was sent to me, I must tell you how pleased I am to find one organized church that shares my own views about religion and the personal relationships we each have with God.... I am glad that I can be a part of the A.F.C. so that I can help others live better lives, and hopefully give constructive assistance.



Rev. D. E., New York
