• have a passion for the Word of God
• have a B.Th. or equivalent (relevant undergraduate studies will be considered also)
• be in agreement with evangelical theology in keeping with that of the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada

The Pastoral candidate will be credentialed, or able to be credentialed by the EMCC.  Both experienced and new pastors will be considered.
