It's time...
to renew your AG ministerial credentials. We have attempted to give you the most concise renewal information possible on this page. If you have any questions, please feel free to give our office a call and we will help you in every way possible.
Late Renewals . . .
- If your renewal is postmarked or submitted online after Dec. 31, 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: renewal form and fees must be postmarked no later than Jan. 15, of next year, or you will be considered lapsed.
- Renewals postmarked after January 15, of next year will not be accepted by General Council, and your credential will be lapsed. You will instead be required to complete a reinstatement application and pay $100.00 reinstatement fee. (Please contact Sherry Fessler Secretariat Director, in the Secretary-Treasurer's office for more details).
RENEWAL STEP BY STEP PROCESS:
Three steps before you begin your renewal:
STEP 1: Your General Council dues must be current to renew. The dues are:
- Certified - $10/mo or $120/yr
- License - $20/mo or $240/yr
- Ordained - $25/mo or $300/yr
Payment can be made online at agpassport.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.
To see if your tithes are current, please refer to your monthly giving statement which will show you how much is still owed for 2022.
The 2022 giving requirements, as specified in the Bylaws, are:
- Ordained ministers: 50% of your tithes from all sources of income or $270 per month, whichever is greater.
- Licensed ministers: 50% of your tithes from all sources of income or $245 per month, whichever is greater.
- Certified ministers: 50% of your tithes from all sources of income or $214 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.
This renewal fee can be paid through your SoCal Network login at:
