IMI Ministers
800 ministers ordained in 30 countries
Since the late 1980s, IMI has recognized, credentialed, and released gifted men and women into ministry around the world — and the family keeps growing.
Who it's for
Called, gifted — and waiting for credentials
Many gifted people are already doing the work of ministry — preaching, teaching, leading, serving — but lack formal credentials because no denomination or institution has offered them a path. IMI Ministers exists for exactly those people. Ordination through IMI gives recognized standing to ministers who are active in the field and living out their calling, whether they serve in a rural American town or a village on the other side of the world.
It is not an honorary title. Applicants pass a test, must be active in ministry and currently living a holy lifestyle, and provide two professional recommendations — see the full requirements and application steps. Once ordained, ministers renew annually and remain connected to a worldwide family led byRev. Tom Stamman, who has ordained ministers domestically and internationally for decades.
