• ALL ministers MUST renew their credentials EVERY YEAR.

• This includes newly credentialed ministers and those who upgraded their credentials this year.

• The ARAOG Credential Renewal fee is $20.

• Senior Retired Ministers are NOT required to pay this fee.

• When filling out the online renewal form, you may be prompted to pay your General Council dues, if you have not already done so earlier in the year. These dues are based on your credential level - Certified - $120/yr., Licensed - $240/yr., Ordained - $300/yr.

• Please do not send your $20 ARAOG Credential Renewal fee to the General Council, and do not send your General Council dues to the ARAOG office.
