All pastors serving within an ABMB church are required to be credentialed. A credential-holder is licensed with the Alberta government to officiate wedding and register the marriage with Statistics Alberta. Find out more.
Ordination refers to the recognition by the local church of the credential-holder’s “life calling” to this pastoral ministry. ABMB provides oversight and assistance for the church in this process.
Typically, a pastor will be credentialed for five or more years before ordination is granted. Contact us if you are interested in pursuing ordination.
The conference provides support for pastors from outside of the province who wish to be an “officiant” for a wedding within the province.
Temporary licensing is typically granted to other MB credential-holders from across Canada.
