For Late Renewals . . .

If you submit your renewal online after the Dec. 31st deadline, of this year, it will be considered late and a late fee of $50.00 is required in addition to the $50.00 renewal fee.  PLEASE NOTE: Renewals and fees must be completed no later than Jan. 15, of next year, or you will be considered lapsed. If that happens, you will be required to complete a reinstatement application and pay a $100.00 reinstatement fee. (Please contact Yesenia Villarreal in the Credentials office for more details if your credential lapses.)

  • Certified - $10/mo or $120/yr
  • License - $20/mo or $240/yr
  • Ordained - $25/mo or $300/yr

Payment can be made online at https://accounts.ag.org or by check (made payable to The General Council of the Assemblies of God).  You can also make payment during the online renewal process at ministerrenewal.ag.org

STEP 2: Your Network tithes must be current to renew.

  • Ordained ministers: 50% of your tithes from all sources of income or $292 per month, whichever is greater.
  • Licensed ministers: 50% of your tithes from all sources of income or $265 per month, whichever is greater.
  • Certified ministers: 50% of your tithes from all sources of income or $232 per month, whichever is greater.

STEP 3: Your $50 renewal fee must be paid for your credential renewal to be processed by the SoCal Network.
