Oversight
KGM’s role is to provide spiritual covering and to encourage and exhort its ordained ministers to fulfill their ministry and lead with excellence and honor. KGM defers the policing of ministers to local church government and civil authorities, and leaves judgment with God.

Counsel and Discipline
Should the conduct of a KGM ordained minister become seriously unethical, unscriptural or inappropriately controversial, KGM may, at its discretion, provide leaders or elders to counsel the minister in the Spirit of Christ. If discipline is required, KGM will follow the biblical method set forth in Matthew 18:15-20, with reconciliation as its primary objective. If those attempts are unsuccessful, both parties agree to submit to biblical mediation, defined case by case. Both parties agree that in no case shall either party pursue legal action in courts.

Revocation of Ordination
KGM reserves sole and exclusive discretion to suspend or revoke a minister’s Certificate of Ordination. Causes include, but are not limited to:

• Rejecting sound doctrine or teaching false doctrine (1 Timothy 1:3, 4:16)

• Practicing immorality (1 Corinthians 5:9-11)

• Walking in an unruly or disorderly manner (2 Thessalonians 3:6-12)

• Causing divisions (Romans 16:17)

• Being domineering or quarrelsome (2 Timothy 2:24, 1 Peter 5:1-3)

• Defiling one’s separation from the world (James 4:4)

To the best of my ability, I fully commit to:

• Submit to the Gospel, the standards of the Bible, the lawful and biblical authority of my local church, and the spiritual authority and covering of KGM

• Preach the Good News of Jesus Christ wherever God may send me

• Lead a life of integrity, purity and righteousness

• Proclaim the Word of God without fear of man and without compromising the Truth of Scripture

• Maintain the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace

• Fulfill my calling through a life of prayer and study of the Word of God
