Donation to this Ministry
If you would like to make a donation to our ministry it will be greatly appreciated.
Unlike some other ministries, I do not charge a fee for minister ordinations or licenses. This website and ministry, however, are not cost-free for me; I incur expenses for web hosting; printing costs for the ordination materials (printer/copier/scanner, paper, ink cartridges, etc.); phone calls; advertising/publicizing the website and ministry; travel; meetings; consultations; day-to-day ministry needs and expenses; and postage -- in dollar amounts per year, this runs into a substantial amount of money.
For this reason, I must request a donation of $15.00 for the packet I will give to all who are ordained or licensed. This has proven to be the only way I can manage the costs of this service and continue this website and ministry.
The packet you receive will contain the following: a Certificate of Ordination or Certificate of License; a Letter of Good Standing, announcing your ordination or licensing in the CAC; and a notarized document setting forth the legal establishment of the CAC.
I really feel that this service I am offering is one part of my calling to ministry - I am fulfilling my calling by helping others to fulfill theirs. To help continue this website and ministry, I am depending on spontaneous voluntary monetary support, as well as the requested donation of $15.00 for the Ordination/Licensing Credentials packet for those who become ordained or licensed in the CAC. Other churches expect and even require their members/ministers to tithe and give financially on a regular basis -- every Sunday -- to the local congregation and the denomination; I do not require that money be sent in this manner to the CAC. Our ministers are self-supporting and are financing or helping to finance their own ministries; I will therefore not impose a financial burden upon them by requiring or expecting them to tithe or periodically send money to the CAC headquarters. I will, however, gratefully accept any and all contributions.
Still, if you can't send such contribution, I ask that you pray for our ministry. *** SPECIAL NOTICE: The office of presiding archbishop and the CAC headquarters/home office will be financially sustained by the following spontaneous methods: donations, gifts, freewill offerings, voluntary tithes. It may also receive proceeds from investments, etc. It must be emphasized that at no time will the presiding archbishop take or receive a predetermined or set salary, or any kind of salary, from Celtic Anabaptist Ministries or the Celtic Anabaptist Communion. The presiding archbishop is neither an employee of this Ministry or Church, nor a "self-employed minister"; Celtic Anabaptist Ministries/Communion is NOT a withholding agent of the government - therefore no W-2 forms or 1099 forms will be prepared for or applied to the presiding archbishop. This Ministry and Church Communion, exemplified in the aforesaid beliefs and actions of the presiding archbishop, is thus a "FREE CHURCH" in organization, philosophy, and practice. It is NOT an agent of, or for, the state.
Thank you and God bless you.
