No, a person does not need to be an ordained minister prior to starting a church. The Bible doesn’t teach that only currently ordained clergy may start a church. Anyone who has been called by God into the ministry is qualified to start a church, and may thereafter be ordained through that church. Individuals who were previously ordained through a church or church denomination may start a church even if their ministerial credentials have been revoked. If you believe that you've been called by God to enter the full-time ministry but you'd like to be ordained in a new church that you start or help to start, rather than in an existing one, you may be ordained in that new church. This book will show you how.  more
