Teaching and Training

Standards for priesthood teaching and training, carried into the districts and the Melchizedek Theological Training Center through the Education and Training Council.

Ordination and Consecration

Standards for the one-time ordination into the Melchizedek Priesthood, and for consecration into a specific ministry office.

Credentialing and Conduct

Standards for credentialing and ethical conduct. Credentials are validated by KGF while the holder remains in good standing.

Leadership Ratification

The ratification of leadership is part of the charge the Qodesh carries within the priesthood.

Two Expressions, One Fellowship

The Fellowship and the Priesthood

Kingdom Global Fellowship is the umbrella fellowship. It manages membership, administration, training, events, outreach, ministry relationships, leadership development, and member benefits. A person may belong to KGF without being ordained.

The Melchizedek Priesthood Council is the spiritual governing expression of the priesthood within KGF. Governed through the Qodesh and KGF leadership, it protects the canon, teaching standards, credentialing, ordination, consecration, ethical conduct, ministerial excellence, and accountability of the priesthood.
