The Christian Association of Churches and Ministries was founded by Apostle Earl W. Lacy as Apostolic Oversight, Covering and Mentoring, a fellowship of churches and ministries serving to further the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, by strengthening and equipping the saints with practical wisdom, legal knowledge, administrative support, covenant relationship, and divine connections, in order to take the Gospel to all the nations of the world. Our mission is to assist you in building the foundation of your Divine Calling, by providing you with Ministerial Credentials/Ordination, so you can carry out the Great Comission. The Ministerial Credentials/Ordination combination gives you accountability and credibility when entering hospitals, convalescent homes, jails or prisons. Seeing that you are credentialed by the Christian Association of Churches and Ministries states that you are recognized in the United States and the entire world.
