UPCI General License Courses

For each ministerial level of licensure, new applicants are required to complete this credentialing training course to obtain ministerial license with the United Pentecostal Church International. Your district board sets the parameters for licensing in their district and may have additional requirements. Understand your district’s requirements in addition to these courses.

Taking these courses does not imply that you will receive a ministerial license with the United Pentecostal Church International.

Each credentialing level includes 10 training courses.

To complete the training, you must also watch the "UPCI Ministerial Introduction 1", "UPCI Ministerial Introduction 2", and "SafeChurch Training for Licensure Candidates" videos available in the Local License Introduction module.

**IMPORTANT** Please read the requirements for the courses below!

REQUIREMENTS TO COMPLETE THE COURSES

  • Students are expected to read the textbook (which comes as an ebook in each course), watch the six video sections, and complete the assessments.
  • You have three opportunities to take the twenty-question assessment. If, during the course of the assessment, you answer eight questions incorrectly, the assessment will end and you will have to start over.
  • If the module locks you out after three attempts to pass the assessment, please contact mcsupport@upci.org to have the assessment opened back to you.

Upon completion of the courses you will be able to print a transcript of your grades that you will give to your Sectional Presbyter, District Secretary, or Superintendent before meeting your District's Board. Transcripts are acquired through the Introduction course area for each level. All steps must be completed in the Introduction course in order to access your final transcript.

Your District Board sets the parameters for licensing in their District. Understand your District's requirements in addition to these courses. Taking these course does not imply that you will receive ministerial credentials with the United Pentecostal Church International.
