An essential step in qualifying any individual seeking a local or district minister’s license is to verify the individual’s credential history in the Church of the Nazarene with the General Secretary’s Office. Such verification is an indispensable exercise of due diligence by local church and district boards in fulfilling their respective responsibilities in relation to ministerial licensing.
