Credential Type: Certification
Credential Code: 5-Fold Certified Apostolic Professional – ACP-L1

Program Overview

The Apostolic Certification is a professional credential issued by the 5-Fold National Certification Board to recognize individuals who function in the office or role of an apostle. This certification affirms spiritual maturity, biblical understanding, and ministerial effectiveness in governance, planting, oversight, and kingdom advancement.

This is not a training course, but an exam-based certification. Individuals seeking structured study in the apostolic ministry may pursue academic programs at the Emet School of Ministry (ESOM) or degree pathways at Emet Global University (EGU). These programs offer formal teaching, assignments, and instructor support. The certification exam, however, independently validates your call and office.
