IMA Member Application

Thank you for your interest in joining the International Ministerial Association (IMA)! We are a network of Spirit-filled ministers and ministries united in proclaiming the full truth of God's Word and in proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The IMA is a fellowship that provides oversight and covering as a support system for ministers from around the world. We require accountability and responsibility from our ministers. We encourage all prospective members to familiarize themselves with our constitution. It is expected that those connected with the IMA be people of integrity, respect authority, and work together with fellow ministers.

The IMA is a resource for networking with other ministers and ministries and gives you freedom to join and minister in other religious organizations, associations, and churches. The IMA respects each person’s ministerial calling. It is not our purpose to burden ministers with unnecessary organizational rules and restrictions. The IMA promotes love, cooperation, freedom, and fellowship in the body of Christ. We also provide 501c3 coverage for affiliated churches.

It is our desire that you prayerfully consider becoming an active member of the IMA. If you are so directed, please fill out the following application in its entirety and submit it along with the appropriate payment. We will process it and get back to you as soon as possible.

Again, thank you so very much for your inquiry, and may God bless your ministry abundantly!
