The Communion of Ante-Nicene Christian Fellowships (A.C.F.) is seeking those devout faithful that have felt the calling of Our Lord to His service to the Body of Christ in bringing our message of Hope and the Fullness of Life in Christ through the realization of the Restorative Church of Scripture which is the Ante-Nicene Christian Fellowships.

If you have felt the calling by the Holy Spirit to the service of Our Lord Jesus Christ we would urge you to consider ordination and ministry within the Ante Nicene Christian Fellowships.

The A.C.F.. views Ordination into the service of Christ as a confirmation of the calling by the Holy Spirit and accountability to the Body of Christ, the Church.  The A.C.F. does not require academic degrees as a condition to ordination into the ministry however the A.C.F.. does require of its Deacons/ess Presbyter/Priest and Bishops continuous study for the further edification of the faithful and will provide a study development outline to assist their ministers in fulfillment of that ongoing commitment.

The A.C.F.. requires only signed Affirmation to Our Statement of Faith and  Commitment to Purity. (See Here)    http://www.ante-nicenechurch.org/ordinationinformation.htm

 The A.C.F. does NOT ordain homosexuals, pedophiles, illegal drug users or adherents to any “unnatural” or "unholy" lifestyle into the ministry and views such “lifestyles” as outside the righteousness of God.

The A.C.F. does ordain sisters in the faith to the position of Deaconess, for Scripture and Church history attest to the legitimacy of such actions in service to the Lord.

The A.C.F. prefers that its Ordained Ministers be married, however this is not a requirement by any means but marital status may have some affect in the development of the ordained minister within the Holy Order of the Church on a case by case basis.

All candidates are initially ordained into the Holy Order of the Church as either a Deacons or Deaconess and advancement to both Presbyter/Priest and Bishop comes as a result in the growth of ministerial activity and responsibility.

It is important that all Ordained Ministers within the A.C.F. fully understand the relationship between the Holy Order of the A.C.F. and the general Eldership of the Church in their given locality. (Parish, Diocese, Region etc.) Those being the primary functions of the Episcopate are the performance of the Sacraments, the facilitation of the Spiritual growth of the Body of Christ and “oversight” and “guidance” in Church governance.
