Where KGF is still establishing itself in a country, members gather in a cluster rather than a formal district. A cluster works the same way day to day — meetings, training and fellowship all continue.

A reference is created for you and emailed to you, and your next step is the application fee. After that your application goes through District and Regional review, including an interview, then Global Office approval, and finally orientation and connection with your district.

Ordination is a one-time, lifelong event: the ordinand is formally ordained as a Melchizedek Priest.

Nobody at KGF will ever know your password or ask you for it.
